Organiser's Description

The Cinco de Mayo 5K, sponsored by the Spanish Club of Dunmore High School in Dunmore, PA and local businesses, starts on The Dunmore High School track and continues through the streets of Dunmore. Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each category will be given. Proceeds will be donated to the CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER OF NEPA a nonprofit organization that helps local children, who are victims of abuse and neglect. When it comes to making a difference in improving childrens lives, there is a place for everyone to contribute. Child abuse and neglect is a community problem. Child care and protection is a community responsibility.

Why is the Childrens Advocacy Center model so important? How does it make a difference for child victims of abuse? At its core, the model is about teamwork bringing the agency professionals involved in a case together on the front end and about putting the needs of the child victim first. So rather than having a child taken from agency to agency throughout the law enforcement and child protection systems, and having to endure multiple, sequential interviews, the CAC model brings the system to the child, and brings the agency professionals together to work in a collaborative approach that results in effective, efficient and child-centered casework.

TO OPTIMIZE THE DONATION AND KEEP PRICES LOW FOR THOSE WANTING TO PARTICIPATE THERE WILL BE SHIRTS AVAILABLE FOR $10.
