Sweet Escape 5K 2025

Description

The Sweet Escape 5K is a fundraiser for the South Carolina Youth Diabetes Association (SCYDA). Every summer SCYDA hosts a camp, Camp Sweet Escape, which serves children with Type 1 Diabetes (and their siblings/friends) in the tri-state area (SC, GA, NC). Camp was created to allow Type 1 children the ability to enjoy a normal summer camp experience surrounded by others with Type 1 while promoting diabetes education and ensuring their safety. Each session campers are surrounded by a team of counselors (many who are Type 1 as well), doctors, nurses, and other medical staff. Many of our campers are the only Type 1 Diabetic in their family, school or community so these sessions provide instant connections and build life-long bonds. CSE sessions typically serve over 100 campers each summer.  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and rising cost of living, it has been difficult for non-profit organizations to secure donations. Funds raised by the Sweet Escape 5K will directly benefit CSE.
