Join Lifecare Community Health Center for the inaugural Behavioral Health Matters 5K, a community fundraiser dedicated to supporting behavioral health services and increasing awareness of the importance of mental health. Whether you're an experienced runner, a casual walker, or simply want to support a meaningful cause, this event is an opportunity to make a positive impact while enjoying a fun, family-friendly morning.
Proceeds from the Behavioral Health Matters 5K will help Lifecare expand access to behavioral health services, connect more individuals and families with the care they need, and continue breaking down barriers to treatment. Every registration, sponsorship, and donation helps strengthen our community and provides hope for those facing mental health and substance use challenges.
Bring your family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors as we run, walk, and stand together to show that Behavioral Health Matters. Every step you take helps create healthier lives and a stronger community for all.
