DK Movement Cares is a registered Non-profit 501(c)3 Public Charity (Tax ID # 92-273940). Champion the spirit of community with every step.

Last year, your incredible support during our debut event helped us amass a remarkable $11,000. This achievement brought about significant changes: The Bristol Special Olympics was able to include all their athletes in bowling, invite new members, and present them with fresh uniforms. Meanwhile, the Agape House Homeless Outreach harnessed their portion to make a real difference in the lives of the homeless.

As we step into this year's event, our ambition grows. We're determined to further support the programs of the Bristol Special Olympics and to enhance the range of services the Agape House offers to our homeless neighbors

Be it guiding participants as a course marshal or cheering at the finish line, every hand counts in making the DK Movement Cares 5K a success. Your involvement makes all the difference. Step up; we're counting on you
