Cobb County 5K benefiting Make a Wish Georgia

About the Event

Every year, Cobb County hosts the Make-A-Wish 5K, a 5-kilometer run the benefits of which are donated to Make-A-Wish® Georgia to grant wishes for Cobb County children with critical illnesses. This year, there are many children in Cobb County waiting to have his or her wish granted. It is our hope to grant more wishes and we know that it takes a community to make this happen. Help us put a smile on a child's face by making their wish come true. To find out more about Make-A-Wish, visit: https://wish.org/georgia/our-stories.
