Description
This year the Commit to Get Fit will become the Commit to Community, Supporting Victims of Violence and Abuse. While the name is changing, the event itself will still take place in September and include the Kids Obstacle Course, 5K Walk, 5K Run, and 10K Run. All money raised through this event will fund the St. Joseph Hospital's Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner (SAFE) program. Every participant, every donor, and every sponsor will be helping people in eastern Maine who require help from the hospital's SAFE nurses.
