The unwavering support has helped shape the Enmarket Savannah Bridge Run, a beloved tradition for participants from across the region, while also fostering a sense of community and wellness.
“We are again pleased to make this donation, as we have done for many years now, to the good work being done at the Lewis Cancer & Research Pavillion.” Joseph Marinelli, President and CEO of Visit Savannah and the Savannah Sports Council, said. “We know that our Bridge Run participants and families thank them for all that they do for our community every day.”
