Sprint Four the Cure
From beatcancerdc.com:The staff at the Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC is proud to be affiliated with The Washington Hospital Center Cancer Institute. For the past 26 years, we have raised more than 2 million dollars earmarked for cancer research. Until there is a cure, and while there is room for improvements in quality of life and supportive care, clinical research is of utmost importance toward the betterment of cancer patient's health and welfare - now and in the future.
Join us this year as we embark on new journeys. Take part in our golf tournament called "Drive Fore the Cure" and the annual 5K run called "Sprint Four the Cure". It is our hope that we raise $100,000 for the cancer research programs under the leadership of Dr. Sandra Swain.

Central Union Mission
Established in 1884, Central Union Mission is one of America's oldest social service ministries. The ministry began as an outreach to wayward men, many of them Civil War veterans, on the streets of Washington. Strong church support led the steady growth into the 21st Century enabling the Mission to purchase and later build increasingly larger facilities.
In 1915, John Bennett arrived as the Mission's first long-term superintendent. In 1917, under his wife Jean, the Children's Emergency Home ministry began. The Mission built large downtown facilities, and revenue and ministry grew even through The Great Depression.
Camp Bennett was opened in 1934 as a place for children to go during the summer and for farming by men out of work. During World War II, the Mission ministered to the thousands of lonely service men and women in the nation's capital.
After the war and deaths of John and Jean Bennett, Rev. and Mrs. Herbert Eberhardt were called to lead the Mission and Children's Home until 1962. The Eberhardts were leaders in the national rescue mission movement and oversaw increased ministry to men, women, children and families and broader use of tools such as the radio.
The tradition of service built by the Bennett's and Eberhardt's has been reinforced by their successors with changes in ministry to adapt to the needs of the day while maintaining the core values and services of our founders.
