5K will benefit Clinic for Special Children BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
he Clinic for Special Children, 535 Bunker Hill Road, Strasburg, will host its annual 5K run and walk on Saturday, Sept. 16. Registration will be available from 7:45 to 8:45 a.m., and the 5K will begin at 9 a.m. The rain-orshine event will include a kids’ color fun run, a bake sale, a chrysanthemum sale and an awards ceremony after the race. The route of the 5K will begin and end at the clinic’s facility in Strasburg, and it will take runners on rural roads between local farms, vineyards and scenic Amish properties. Participants may run or walk the 5K, and the clinic invites runners of all physical abilities to participate. In the past, many participants have finished the race in wheelchairs or while pushing strollers. The kids’ color fun run will be held after the conclusion of the 5K.

Throughout the evening, bands will provide praise and worship music on the stage, and churches such as Lancaster Evangelical Free Church, Reality Church, Westminster Presbyterian Church and Bright Side Baptist Church will offer worship activities.

Last fall, lifelong friends Kris Kauffman and Danielle Denlinger got together to have lunch and catch up. Both women brought each other up to speed on what was new in their lives, and they discussed their goals for the future. Kauffman shared her dream of starting a nonprofit to provide services for individuals with special needs. Denlinger told her she had a similar vision, but specifically for equine therapy.

Worship event will encourage unity
more than 300 runners every year. “One unique thing about the 5K is that it brings together all of the different communities we serve,” said Kelly Cullen, marketing and communications manager for the
nonprofit with its latest expansion project. Last November, the organization began the construction of a new facility in Gordonville. The new facility, which is located on a 10-acre plot of land located just off of Route 340, will be three times the size of the clinic’s current building. The expansion was necessitated by the nonprofit’s growing number of patients, and it plans to rent the Strasburg facility to a local nonprofit organization after the move. The clinic hopes to finish the construction of the new facility this coming spring and officially move its operations there by April 2024. When the organization first began to consider potential locations to relocate to, it created a map showing the locations of its patients’ residences to determine where it would be most accessible. Forty-four percent of the clinic’s current clients reside in Lancaster County, but it provides lab services throughout Pennsylvania and surrounding states.
