Annual Race Benefits Atrium Health Navicent Beverly Knight Olson Children's Hospital Initiatives
The 27th Annual Reindeer Run & Santa Stroll - benefiting Atrium Health Navicent Beverly Knight Olson Children's Hospital - will take place on Saturday, December 7.
Approximately 1,000 participants will race on a new course through downtown Macon that begins and ends at the beautiful new Atrium Health Navicent Beverly Knight Olson Children's Hospital. There are options available for the entire community, including the 5K run that begins at 8:30 a.m. and a one-mile stroll that begins at 8:45 a.m.
"The Reindeer Run and Santa Stroll is one of Macon's premier races, an event that people look forward to each year to kick off their holiday season. This event not only promotes physical health and wellness for its participants, but also raises needed funds to assist with the health and wellness of the children we treat," said Tom Gibbons, Chair of the Navicent Health Foundation Board of Directors.
Funds from the race will support Atrium Health Navicent Beverly Knight Olson Children's Hospital's mission to elevate health, hope and wellbeing for pediatric patients and their families. As the region's only dedicated pediatric hospital - and as a nonprofit hospital - Atrium Health Navicent Beverly Knight Olson Children's Hospital relies on philanthropic support to provide high quality healthcare to pediatric patients from across the state.
