MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY PARTICIPATING
Celebrate our 20th Anniversary! The I Am Woman 5K partners with the Centra Foundation to raise funds for pediatric care. This ensures we can partner with our families and help them to live their best lives.
Funds raised have helped secure specialized newborn and pediatric equipment such as fetal monitors, radiant Panda warmers and Omni beds for the Intensive Care Nursery. This equipment allows us to treat children close to home.
100% of event proceeds raised through your participation and donations stay right here in Centra’s service area and make it possible for us to save the lives of our tiniest population!!
