It is time to lace up and get moving! Registration for the Caswell Center Foundation Community Champion 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run is now officially open. This event is more than just a race; it is a celebration of the mission that drives us every day. Whether you are a competitive runner or prefer to simply walk the course, your participation directly impacts the people we serve. How the Foundation Enhances Resident Life.

• Harmony Park: A major clinical and recreational space located in the heart of our campus.
• Life Experiences: Funding for snow tubing trips to Beech Mountain and holiday celebrations at Busch Gardens Christmas Town.
• Specialized Care: Providing therapeutic equipment, such as specialized rockers, to ease discomfort and improve daily quality of life for residents with chronic pain.
