WINTHROP — The Sexual Assault Crisis & Support Center will host its 10th Annual One-in-Five 5K hybrid race in April.
The race is one of the organization’s largest fundraisers and outreach events. Participants can participate either virtually from April 1 to 25, or in person at 9 a.m. Sunday, April 25, at FirstPark in Oakland. The organization is committed to making this race a COVID safe event and has protocols in place for the in-person race.
Proceeds from the event benefit the organization’s free 24-hour, confidential support services to victims and families of sexual assault.
The organization is hopeful that by providing both options for the community to participate, “the 1 in 5 people in Maine who are victims of sexual violence and abuse, know that we see them, we support them and we care” said Executive Director Donna Strickler. “As a community, we can come together to make a difference in the lives of those affected by sexual violence.”
