Hopeful Horizons is holding its 12th annual Race4Love 5K Run and 3K Walk on Saturday, Sept. 28 at 9 a.m. on Cat Island in Beaufort.
“The course offers a pleasant trip through the scenic neighborhoods of Cat Island.”
The race was established in memory of LCpl. Dana Tate and Cpl. Dyke “AJ” Coursen, two Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office deputies who were killed while responding to a domestic disturbance call in 2002.
The event is held to raise awareness and funds to help support victims and survivors of domestic violence, child abuse and sexual assault.
“It is an honor to serve as the Race4Love Grand Marshall right before Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October. It is a privilege to stand alongside Hopeful Horizons, a life-saving organization who tirelessly works to create a safer community, provide shelter and guidance to those who are facing severe hardships and traumas. Together, we are changing the culture of violence and offering a path to healing for survivors and their families. Let us continue to raise our voices, offer hope, and champion a future where every individual can live free from fear” says event Grand Marshall, Beaufort Police Chief Stephanie Price.
Race4Love is a rain or shine event, and early registration is open through Wednesday, Sept. 25.

“Hopeful Horizons would not be able to provide critical, life-saving services free of charge without the continued support of the community,” said Kristin Dubrowski, CEO of Hopeful Horizons. “Race4Love is a great opportunity to show survivors you care.”
