Description

Race Date: Saturday, April 26th, 2025

Join the community for the 10th Annual #Race4Wanza Doughnut Dash 5k in honor of TyWanza Sanders! TyWanza Sanders, a man with a philanthropic spirit and a commitment to the achievement of youth in his community and beyond, was the youngest victim of the 2015 Mother Emanuel Church Massacre. To honor his life and continue his legacy, Race 4 Achievement Inc. (R4A) created this family friendly community run/walk to provide funds for R4A's TyWanza Sanders Scholarship Fund and other philanthropic outreach programs. 

 

This community event is R4A's primary fundraiser, enabling us to persist in our mission of supporting the community and championing diversity within the Charleston #commUNITY. Proceeds from this event have allowed R4A to award $25,000 worth of scholarships since the event's inception to minority high school graduates in the Charleston area. The TyWanza Sanders Scholarship Fund includes the following $1,000 scholarships TyWanza Sanders Scholarship at James Island Charter High, West Ashley High, and Burke High School, the Dan Stern Citadel Scholarship, the Malik Samir Werts Scholarship at the Charleston County School of the Arts, and the Kevin White Jr. Fort Dorchester High School.
