Additionally, the organization supports our nation’s veterans by growing and donating high-quality fruits, vegetables and flower bouquets to veterans and their caregivers free of charge.

The mission of the WNC Military Museum is to provide an avenue for people to appreciate and honor the men and women who serve so bravely in our armed forces through military artifacts and memorabilia.

Symmetry Financial Group, AdventHealth and Native Kitchen present a very special evening to benefit Our VOICE, Inc. Tarana Burke started a revolution in 2006 when she first used the phrase Me Too in reference to her own sexual assault. More than 10 years later the Me Too Movement transformed into the viral #MeToo phenomenon. Tarana was named a 2017 Time Magazine Person of the Year for her role in breaking the silence around sexual violence. Tarana’s message is clear: together we are creating a movement that is actively shaping and changing our cultural norms now and for future generations to come.

Come join us for a family friendly fun day to celebrate our differences and raise money for an awesome cause!

Welcome to the 11th Annual Upstate Run & Roll 5K – a 5K and 1 Mile Walk/Roll at Cleveland Park in beautiful downtown Greenville, SC!!!

The Brain Injury Association of South Carolina (BIASC) is dedicated to creating a better future through brain injury prevention, research, education and advocacy. We are the only nonprofit organization in the state dedicated to preventing and helping those with brain injury. The Upstate Run & Roll 5K and 1 Mile Walk / Roll began as a support for brain injury survivors and a tool for awareness. It was initially about the patients and giving them the opportunity to participate in something with meaning. This event has increased from 45 participants to 400+ participants with participants who are both brain injury survivors and teams that run/walk/roll in honor or memory of someone. The Run For Thought has become a community event that includes brain injury survivors, caregivers, providers, as well as competitive runners.

We welcome you to the 11th Annual Upstate Run & Roll 5K and 1 Mile Walk / Roll…

Please note – This event is run mostly on the Swamp Rabbit Trail throughout Cleveland Park in downtown Greenville. 100% of the run is on pavement.
