    Join Us for a Cause That Matters: Maternal Health Charity Race & Family Health Day

    Georgia is one of the most dangerous states in the country for pregnant women. That’s why it’s crucial to empower women with the knowledge and tools to advocate for themselves—both in the doctor’s office and in the delivery room.

    This charity race is more than just a run—it’s a movement. We're raising vital funds to help economically vulnerable women and their babies access high-quality maternal and infant care. It's also about sparking conversation and raising awareness around maternal health in our communities.

    🗓 Event Details:

    Start your morning with a 5K Charity Race

    Followed by a FREE Family Health Day

    📣 Note: What was previously our “5K and Family Fun Day” is now the “5K and Family Health Day”! We’ve reimagined the event to better serve our community—with a special highlight: 🎉 A Community Baby Shower to celebrate and support new and expecting mothers with essential resources and gifts.

    You don’t have to run to attend the Family Health Day—everyone is welcome!

    Enjoy:

    • Free health screenings

    • Family-friendly activities

    • Wellness resources

    • A community baby shower

    • And more—all at no cost

    Registration is $35.

    All proceeds benefit the Savannah Care Center, helping women and families thrive. Find more information about the organization here: https://savannahcarecenter.org/.

    We can’t wait to see you there!
