HOW YOUR REGISTRATION MAKES A DIFFERENCE
The NC Blueberry Festival 5K Run benefits PATH.

Pender Alliance for Total Health (PATH) provides access to an Integrated System of Care for Pender County youth, their families, teachers and staff. PATH works within the schools to promote wellness for all children and teens within the county.

With school-based Health Centers and an integrated care approach, children can be seen where they spend most of their time - at school. Patients get seen the same day and parents dont have to leave work and try to get an appointment with a doctor. Students miss less school and parents often dont miss any work!
