According to Allison David, CEO “Many people were first introduced to us during the pandemic when we were a COVID testing site. We encourage everyone to join us for this event to learn more about what we are doing now. People come to the Center for various reasons and there is something for everyone! Having emerged from the pandemic, we know people crave social connections. Our C3 5K is a great way for the community to come together for a fun, family event”
