Colon Cancer 5K

Join the community for the third annual 5K for the Free Clinic! In previous years, this event has successfully raised funds for colon cancer awareness, education, and screenings. Unfortunately, the clinic building suffered significant smoke damage from a nearby fire this past Christmas. As they work to RISE and REBUILD, the clinic is focusing efforts on ensuring that patients continue to receive care at alternative locations. This year’s 5K will raise funds to rebuild the Main Street location, enabling the clinic to resume providing essential medical and dental services to the underinsured community.
