Be a Hot Flash Sponsor!
The Hot Flash 5K attracts runners and walkers from across the Midlands. The race is also main fundraiser for our general community projects.
Last year, your sponsorships helped us fund a $1000 scholarships, provide a Thankfulness breakfast for City of Cayce employees, give blankets for the Cayce Elementary Christmas project, cut and sew 75 Cancer Care Caps, send 450 Christmas and Hannukah cards to those in need of holiday cheer, and and provide clothing donations for Midlands Orphan Relief.
We look forward to being able to offer more community projects in the future.
