5th Annual Ugly Sweater 5K Dash to Benefit Families Living with Alzheimer’s and Related Dementia
The ARK of SC will host their 5th Annual Ugly Sweater 5K Dash on December 3rd in Summerville. The event raises funds for local families living with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
To kick-off the holiday season, runners and walkers are invited to wear their most festive holiday sweater. All race proceeds fund programs such as memory screenings, resource fairs, educational workshops, and support groups in Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, and Orangeburg counties plus respite centers in Harleyville and Summerville. Every year, The ARK, Alzheimer’s Family Support Services works with local families and friends providing care for people living with Alzheimer’s disease in the Charleston area.
“This event is integral to our fundraising success and allows us to help even more families as they care for loved ones with Alzheimer’s or dementia,” said Peg Lahmeyer, executive director of The ARK. “Caregiving is demanding and can be overwhelming and we are grateful to be the ones offering support.”
