This event was a special cause for celebration! Not only was the Race to the Fundraising Finish Line program a success but, CSDHH reached a new record-breaking fundraising total! Previously in 2018, we raised $2,250 for the newly established Evans-Melton Access Fund. Now two years later, the same fund is still benefiting from the community’s support in the amount of $2,444.65! This accomplishment is more than just a dollar value. It represents a strong community who shares in the same vision of Access for All even in this time of hardship. We may be separated by distance but we are clearly united by our love of community!

CSDHH Fundraising Total Passes Previous Years!
We broke more than just fundraising records in this year’s Human Race event! Thanks to all of our donors, team members, and active social media supporters, who helped launch CSDHH into the top 10 out of 78 participating nonprofits! This is a proud first in our history! When we started the 2020 campaign, we did not set out to be one of the top teams. Our only goal then and now has been to share our vision of Access for All. It was a collective belief in that vision that lifted CSDHH to this position. We’ve said it several times in several ways but the team at CSDHH values our community and their support!

Thanks to Team Members
We sorely missed running and cheering on our CSDHH team members this year! Even though we couldn’t line up together at the start line, our team members turned out some of their personal best times! Of our 18 registered team members, 3 placed within the top 10 overall! Congratulations! This is an incredible accomplishment that also helped to spotlight CSDHH’s Evans-Melton Access Fund. The team at CSDHH sincerely thanks everyone who participated in the competitive 5K race and walk, we appreciate them going the extra mile to support our mission!
In so many ways 2020’s Human Race event was a success despite these unprecedented times. We appreciate the community rallying behind CSDHH’s campaign in the Human Race over a span of ten weeks and adapting along with us. While the race may be over, our team will continue to show how donated dollars are being spent in the community ensuring Access for All!
