Out of this personal loss has come The CHAS Foundation 5K Run and 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk.  100% of funds raised will go to supporting The CHAS Foundation and improved mental health care in Hampton Roads.\n\nOn Oc tober 18th 2015 the CHAS 5k race was born to support the running community and fundraise for The CHAS Foundation's efforts to improve local mental h ealth care.  We are now in our 9th year and are excited to also offer a 1 mile fun run and walk to the program.  We continue to attract elite runn ers from across Tidewater looking to break our 5K course records for monet ary awards which adds to the fun. We continue to have a loyal and going nu mber of business and personal sponsors powering the fundraising for this o rganization's charitable efforts. \n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thechasfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads /2024/03/2024-event-banner.jpg CATEGORIES:Fundraiser LOCATION:Towne Bank University\, 6009 Harbour View Blvd.\, Suffolk\, VA\, 2 3435\, Virginia\, United States GEO:36.8847539;-76.43713259999998 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=6009 Harbour View Blvd.\, S uffolk\, VA\, 23435\, Virginia\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE= Towne Bank University:geo:36.8847539,-76.43713259999998 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
