Since its founding in 1987, Carolina Children's Charity has helped thousands of Lowcountry children fight the effects of birth defects and childhood diseases. Last year, more than $284,000 was provided to Lowcountry children to cover the costs of specialized equipment, diagnostic summer camps, medications, medical evaluation and testing, therapies and other life-saving and life-enhancing services. All items and or services requested must be deemed medically necessary or medically beneficial by the child's medical doctor.

Local firefighters and the community have been supporting CCC's mission for more than 22 years. This years' event is the first of many to raise funds for the special children of Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton and Dorchester counties.
