SWAGÊÓƵ

The VCOM-Carolinas campus was filled with excitement and vibrant colors as 151 participants rallied for the VIVA! Color Run 2024 on Saturday, August 17! Runners, walkers and dancers of all ages and fitness levels from the SWAGÊÓƵcommunity, St. Luke’s and beyond joined forces for a morning of fun, fitness and philanthropy. The event successfully brought together not only SWAGÊÓƵand St. Luke’s members but also participants from the broader Spartanburg community. 

Proceeds from the event will benefit St. Luke's Free Medical Clinic, ensuring access to high-quality healthcare for uninsured, low-income residents of Spartanburg County. The turnout and support were truly heartwarming, with people coming together for such a meaningful cause. 

A very special thanks to: 

• The MOVE Exec Board—Smit Patel, Benjamin Cutler, Katylyn Harms and Sayesha Reddi— for their outstanding organization and dedication to making this event a success. 

• SWAGÊÓƵfaculty members Dr. Alexis Stoner and Dr. Lisa Carroll, whose leadership and enthusiasm were felt by everyone throughout the event. 

• Chet Cantrell and Marc Rivera from St. Luke’s who worked tirelessly to ensure the event's mission was front and center. 

With 151 tickets sold, this event was a vibrant celebration of community spirit and support. Thank you to all participants, volunteers and sponsors for making VIVA! Color Run 2024 a success. We look forward to doing it again next year!
