‘Race for Agrace’ Comes to Dodgeville May 18

Monday, April 22, 2024

If someone you know is aging, seriously ill, dying or grieving, they can turn to Agrace for support. A local, nonprofit, community-supported health care organization, Agrace is well-known for its compassionate hospice care, supportive (palliative) care and grief support throughout southwest Wisconsin.

To help ensure all area residents have access to its services, Agrace is holding its first Race for Agrace fundraiser in Dodgeville on Saturday, May 18. The family-friendly event includes a 5K run/walk and a 1-mile walk, and strollers are welcome on the course. Individuals and teams can race at 9 a.m. from Harris Park in Dodgeville, or individually at any course of their choosing.

All who participate in person at Harris Park receive a Race for Agrace water bottle. Bibs will be provided to those who sign up for the in-person 5K run/walk The cost to attend is $15 per person. All participants are encouraged to raise money on behalf of themselves or their team. Raising $100 earns the racer a t-shirt.

Race participants and sponsors of this event will be helping Agrace care for patients and families throughout southwest Wisconsin—including people who need Agrace’s care but have no way to pay for it. All race proceeds benefit Agrace programs and services, including Care for All (charitable care), community grief support and Agrace’s Hospice Memory Care Suites.
