The inaugural Strides for Survivors is being run to benefit the aftercare program at the NC Jaycee burn center.

All proceeds raised from this effort will support the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center, a program dedicated to providing specialized medical care and rehabilitative services for patients recovering from burn injuries. The Burn Center leads efforts in community education and burn prevention, pioneers new research, and strives to help patients return to their highest level of functioning possible after rehabilitation.
