"Racing to Prevent Abuse"
Stand Up, Speak Out Labor Day 5K is sponsored by A Call to Action Oconee, a 501c3 organization whose mission is to end Domestic Violence, Dating Abuse, and Bullying in our community. All the proceeds from this 5K go toward awareness and education programs, teaching free Bystander Intervention classes, and assistance to survivors.

Thank you for joining us in this great effort to make our community a safer place.
