2018 Race For The ARK
We cannot thank you, our faithful supporters, enough for making our 19th Annual Thrivent Financial Race For The ARK a wonderful success. With beautiful weather, we had 551 registered runners and walkers that completed the course. This year, The ARK raised over $31,000 to benefit families living with Alzheimer’s or related dementia throughout the Lowcountry. With these funds we are able to continue providing respite care, support groups and education classes. We look forward to making next year’s 20th Annual Race For The ARK even better!
