2017 Action Dash

On Saturday May 13, AHC held its annual Community Action Dash. More than 200 people including over 100 lovely children participated in our Dash in the morning. Although it was raining and cold, everyone kept in high momentum and enthusiasm and persistently finished the 5 k and 10 k runs. We are very proud of our participants for all your positive energy which made our event unique and meaningful. On behalf of AHC, here 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 support, efforts and contributions to make this special event happen. In particular, thank you, Larissa, our Event Coordinator. You worked very hard to coordinate the event and put everything together. Thank you for our volunteers for all your wonderful job!
