Benefits: Diabetes Self Management Program at Chester County Hospital
Make a difference in the community by supporting the Diabetes Self-Management Program at Chester County Hospital through the annual Dash 4 Diabetes 5K, 2.5K Walk & Kids Fun Run. Each year, the educational program educates more than 900 people on how to control their particular type of diabetes - juvenile, gestational, Type 1, Type 2, or pre-diabetes. All proceeds from this fundraising event benefit diabetes education at Chester County Hospital.
Dashing is Great Business
Participating in the Dash is a great way to encourage employee wellness and team building, while marketing your business and conducting community outreach.
Sponsorship comes with complementary run entries. Invite your clients, employees, friends and family to run/walk and give them a reason to get in shape, a public goal to work toward and a celebration of their achievement. Your team will enjoy the camaraderie that comes from achieving a common goal and helping people living with diabetes in our community. With your logo on their shirts and photos and video documenting your participation, you will showcase your company and your support of the community.
Best of all participation is easy and your guests and employees can register themselves!
