Run for a Cause
As you Storm the Course , you’ll also Be the Force for Mental Health Awareness!
All proceeds from the May the Course Race benefit Restoration Place Counseling (RPC)—a local nonprofit offering affordable, professional Christian counseling to girls and women in the Triad and beyond.
Why it matters: High cost is both a nationally and locally documented reason why people do not seek mental health care. RPC exists to remove this obstacle for those in need.
In a time when professional mental health care is needed more than ever, your participation helps make a real difference. Thank you for your support!
