12th Annual Action Dash 5/10k Run

On Saturday, June 23rd AHC held its annual Community Action Dash event. More than 120+ people participated in the Dash to fundraise money for AHC's programs. Runners were invited to a high-energy warm-up, courtesy of the Kandela Flow Zumba Group, before taking off for their 5 and 10 k run/walks. Everyone kept in high momentum and enthusiasm and finished their 5 and 10k runs. After the race, participants were awarded medal, and along with guests and volunteers participated in the many festivities of the Health festival which followed. Guests were able to enjoy many diverse cultural performances from AHC's community members, while also partaking in food, fun, games, face painting, henna and more!

On behalf of AHC, I would like to express our sincere thanks to all our partners, sponsors, planning committee members, participants, staff, volunteers, performers as well as our special guests for all your support, efforts and contributions to make this event happen.
