The 2012 Step Up for The Arc 5K Walk/Run will be held in September. The exact date will be announced within the next few weeks. We hope to once again hold the event at the beautiful Oak Ridge Park in Clark.
Last year over $36,000 was raised thanks to the amazing families, friends, companies and donors who worked constantly to ensure another successful 5K Walk/Run for The Arc of Union County! We are so appreciative of YOU! Together we exceeded our goal! As examples, these monies can be used to provide technology for use in our schools, supplies to enhance our recreation activities, or items not covered in our residential programs.
Each year the event presents an opportunity for our communities to unite and significantly increase public awareness of The Arc's programs and services which benefit children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

"The Arc is a wonderful organization and is terrific in caring for my sister. It (Step Up for The Arc) was a wonderful experience and I do plan to devote more time and energy to The Arc. It was so great to meet everyone and hopefully Team Martini will be walking with you again in the future."
