Visit the charity's profileNow more than ever our community needs strength and connectedness, while maintaining a feeling of safety and security. In order to ensure a safe experience for everyone, our race is going VIRTUAL for 2021! Participants are free to run, walk, bike, or hike, the 5-kilometers/3.1 miles any time between May 7 and May 9, 2021. Mileage can be completed indoors or outdoors.
Registrants will continue to contribute to a great cause: supporting the end-of-life, palliative, and grief services provided by Hospice of the Piedmont that have cared for our community for 40 years. PLEASE NOTE THAT RACE REGISTRATION IS SEPARATE FROM TEAM FUNDRAISING; IN ORDER TO ENSURE YOU RECEIVE YOUR RACE T-SHIRT AND MATERIALS, PLEASE REGISTER HERE: http://www.hopva.org/5KRegistration.
Anyone who is registered for the race and shares photos of their race experience to 5K@hopva.org by May 10, 2021 is eligible for a prize in the following categories: Most Spirited Individual, Largest Team, Top Fundraising Team, Most Scenic Route, Most Creative Way to Complete a 5K, and Best Pet Partner .
Since 2001, this community-driven race has grown to 350 participants, over 50 volunteers, 150 spectators, and raises over $100,000 annually from corporate and individual sponsorship, registration, participant fundraising, and memorial contributions. Some of the ways you impacted our community, last year alone, by supporting Hospice of the Piedmont include:
Nearly 1,700 patients and their families were cared for. Thanks to private philanthropy, all services can be covered - even those not covered by private insurance.
More than 3,500 calls were made by bereavement staff, counselors, and volunteers to support grieving members of our community last year. Our art therapists have conducted over 1,000 sessions with children and their families. Our Center for Grief and Healing and Center for Children provide free grief support services at no cost to anyone in our community.
Complementary programs like our Veterans Services, and Music By the Bedside, provide customized care for patients and their families. These programs are made possible only by the support of our community.
PLEASE JOIN US THE WEEKEND OF MAY 7, 8, AND 9, 2021 TO CELEBRATE AND REMEMBER YOUR LOVED ONES!
It's not just about the end of life, it's about what happens for the people left behind - the brothers, sisters, wives, husbands - Hospice of the Piedmont cares for everyone in our community.
