The Augusta Dream Center is a nonprofit serving individuals and families throughout the CSRA by meeting essential needs and offering a pathway toward stability and growth. Through programs that provide food, clothing, counseling, healthcare resources, youth enrichment, and more, we are able to walk alongside those facing hardship and help relieve the pressures of poverty. With your participation, we can continue creating opportunities for immediate relief while empowering lives and strengthening families.
The race will begin and end at the Augusta Dream Center, offering a meaningful route through South Augusta neighborhoods directly served by our programs, allowing participants to see firsthand the community they are helping to support.
