INTROAttracting runners from all over the CSRA and the state of SC, the Whiskey Road Race has been an Aiken tradition for over 40 years. The Whiskey Road Race is our annual fundraiser which allows us to continue our vital services to victims of domestic and sexual violence in the 6 counties we serve. The funds raised by this race allows us to continue operating our agency and providing hope and new beginnings to those who have suffered abuse.
In 2024, the Cumbee Center served 802 new survivors of domestic violence and 91 new survivors of sexual assault, providing over 9300 units of service to more than 1600 individuals. We provided 162 survivors, 2550 nights of safety at our emergency shelter; 6 families housing stability through financial assistance; and 115 survivors counseling. We maintained our footprint in six counties and received in kind donations from over 150 community members or partners. The work we are doing today is only possible because of your support. You make it possible for Cumbee Center to champion the life saving services we provide.
Let’s run for THEIR lives. Together.
