More about the Reindeer Run: .... Check out our new commercial!!!!
The Reindeer Run, presented by Piggly Wiggly and Half-moon Outfitters, is a family-oriented, pet-friendly 5k run/walk through the lower peninsula of downtown Charleston, SC. The event has grown significantly over the years; from only a few hundred participants to record attendance of almost 2,500 runners in 2008. Throughout the history of the event, the Charitable Society of Charleston (CSC) has donated over $300,000 to the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). In 2008 alone CSC donated $51,000 to the Children’s Hospital. These funds help MUSC develop and maintain a variety of programs in the Children’s Hospital as well as The Darby Children’s Research Institute. This includes research in the prevention and treatment of childhood diseases.
Proceeds from the Reindeer Run are split between MUSC Children’s Hospital and the Charitable Society of Charleston. 80% of the funds go to the MUSC Children’s Hospital and 20% go to the Charitable Society of Charleston’s endowment. In 2008 the Reindeer Run contributed $12,000 to the CSC endowment. This endowment provides grants and donations to local non-profit organizations which benefit both children and elderly residents of the Lowcountry.
