Coastal Carolina University and Horry Georgetown Technical College are excited to announce and promote, the Light Up the Night 5K Run, Walk, Roll, or Stroll. This event was organized to highlight Interpersonal Violence Awareness in October. Like many other colleges and universities nationwide, CCU and HGTC pledge to continue to offer support, resources, and further conversations surrounding the issue of dating violence among those in our college community. Movement is medicine, there is strength in numbers and power in community! Lets move together and show survivors they are not fighting their battle alone.
