WHY WE RUN
The 6th Annual The Spooky 5K is a FUNdraiser for the Together We Raise of Swain County, Inc. TWR was formed and designated as a non-profit organization achieving 501-(C)-(3) certification to provide for the delivery and provision of health, social, and other community services to at risk children and families of Swain County, North Carolina. As children and adults come into the care and responsibility of Swain County DSS, their needs are remarkable and unending. Clothing, shoes, coats, personal items, as well as extra services not covered by Medicaid, and activities are examples of expenses to enhance the well-being of the children and adults. These expenses are not covered by state funds to DSS, Foster Families or group homes. Together We Raise of Swain County, Inc will make the efforts to meet the needs of these individuals at Christmas and then as needed throughout the year.
