OK5K 2021

Since 1955, Eggleston has been dedicated to providing meaningful training, employment opportunities, recreation activities and residential services to thousands of adults with disabilities. The OK5K and 1 Mile Run/Walk is Eggleston’s only fundraising event, and all proceeds directly support our mission.

Proceeds from the OK5K event help to offset the cost of Eggleston’s year-round services to adults with disabilities, including our Brain Injury Services, Warrior Bridge Veteran program, and Summer Camp at Civitan. Eggleston’s Brain Injury Services provides both case management services and a clubhouse model program that focuses on helping members reach their personal goals. Eggleston’s Warrior Bridge assists veterans with disabilities by connecting them to vital resources, services and employment. Finally, Eggleston’s Camp Civitan offers individuals with significant disabilities the chance to have a life changing camping experience, while giving their caregivers much needed respite.

Thank you for your support of Eggleston and the OK5K & 1 Mile Run/Walk!
