It's BACK! We want to see your ugliest, weirdest, or fanciest holiday ensemble on Saturday, December 13th for the Friends of the Met CAC Ugly Sweater 5K in Forest Acres, SC! Proceeds and donations will benefit Friends of the Met CAC, a non-profit organization established to support the mission of the Metropolitan Children’s Advocacy Center (Met CAC).
