From the organizer
Join us for the Limestone Child Advocacy Center Teddy Bear 5K, a fun, family-friendly race with a powerful purpose. Whether you’re a competitive runner, a casual walker, or participating with kids and strollers, this event welcomes all ages and abilities.
The goal of the Teddy Bear 5K is to raise critical funds and community awareness for the Limestone Child Advocacy Center (LCAC). LCAC provides a safe, child-focused environment for children who have experienced abuse or trauma, helping them begin the healing process through advocacy, forensic services, and access to essential resources. Every step you take helps support children and families during some of their most difficult moments.
Participants are encouraged to bring a teddy bear to run or walk with as a symbol of comfort, hope, and support for the children served by LCAC. This race is about more than miles—it’s about standing up for children, promoting healing, and showing our community that every child deserves safety and compassion.
Volunteer sign up and sponsorship opportunities are on our website www.limestonecac.org . For more information please contact us via email at run@limestonecac.org
