Crime Survivors Inc., Announces 7th Annual Survive and Thrive 5k Run Walk Health and Safety Expo a NEW location
The Orange County Crime Victim’s support and education organization, Crime Survivors, hosts its 7th Annual Run Walk – Health & Safety Expo on October 9, at The Orange County Sheriff’s Regional Training Academy.
This great community event began in 2004 when Patricia Wenskunas, a crime survivor, founded Crime Survivors, to increase public awareness of victims’ rights and needs. Patricia also wanted to provide resources, support and information to empower crime victims to survive and thrive.
Many civic and law enforcement agencies, corporations, local businesses and individuals support the organization, which has proactively partnered with many other nonprofit organizations.
Hundreds of runners and walkers are expected from survivors and supportive citizens to members of law enforcement and other civic agencies and over one hundred event and vendor booth sponsors are expected to participate this year. This event promises to be a day of fun, learning and even healing for some. Crime Survivors welcomes sponsors, vendors, volunteers and Run/walkers.
Corporate and non-profit Booth and Team sponsorships are available. Individual 5K participants can also call: (949) 872-7895 (or) Log onto www.surviveandthriverunwalk.org to register.
