RIVERSIDE
Located in Austell, Georgia, Riverside EpiCenter hosts a variety of activities, entertainment, and events for the community. With over 113,000 sq ft, it also houses a soundstage, recording studio, and quiet office spaces. I visited Riverside EpiCenter to witness firsthand what they do for their community and how they bridge the gap with Chairwoman Cupid’s Annual 5K - providing the resources that are needed for people in the community to want to get up, get out, and get active in their life purpose.

Uplifting the community and driving ambition- this year, Chairwoman Cupid’s 5K was held on April 9th and was powered by Robert Rushing of Team Weight No More. Georgia Work Source also partnered with the EpiCenter on the 5K by offering a job fair. They provided applications for several companies and insight on what the benefits of working for the companies on sight.
It is more than just recreation for the community, it is showing the community what the possibilities are.” -Cobb County Commission Chairwoman Lisa Cupid

8th Anniversary Event
By Shanille V.
There’s more to a healthy wellness state than just being physically fit. When you look good, you feel good and when you feel good you do better. Chairwoman Cupid’s 5K is about more than just losing weight; it gives the community hope. It gives the people of the surrounding communities a chance to explore different possibilities and directions for their lives. It’s a new year resolution. With speaking with multiple employees at Riverside EpiCenter, I found that they share similar sentiments about how they are helping the community. They agree it begins with mental health. Everyone wants to look good, but forget that they need to feel good as well.
The main purpose of this event is to show the community that there is a place for them to nurture themselves and talents, which is in alignment of the EpiCenter’s mission to empower people and inspire communities.
