The Race for the ARK is our annual 5K Run/Walk and 1 Mile Fun Run that runs through historic downtown Summerville. This fun and healthy activity will take you through some of the most beautiful, historic scenery in the Lowcountry. Join us as we get moving, build fellowship, and work to raise funds for this incredibly important mission.

Proceeds from the event help us continue our work supporting caregivers and their loved ones living with Alzheimer’s Disease or Related Dementias (ADRD). Every dollar helps up to develop resources such as our Adult Respite Care programs, Early Memory Loss programs, Memory Screenings, and our Powerful Tools for Caregivers training.
