Run for the Future of Forensics 🔬🏃

Every case tells a story—and behind every piece of evidence is a future forensic scientist who needs the opportunity to learn, grow, and make a difference.

Donations to this cause will support the Future of Forensic Scholarship Fund through the Department of Public Safety’s Forensic Division. The fund provides support to students interested in pursuing careers in forensic science, helping make education and career opportunities more accessible to the next generation of forensic professionals.

Whether students dream of working in a drug laboratory, analyzing DNA, examining firearms or latent prints, investigating crime scenes, or simply using science to bring answers to complex cases, they have the potential to make a meaningful and lasting impact.

Your donation can help turn that potential into a career. Every contribution, big or small, helps invest in the next generation of forensic scientists.

Please consider donating and or running with the Greenville County Forensics. Together, we can help build a stronger future for forensic science. 🧬🔍

But there’s more than just a race! Around the Forensics Building, tables will be set up where you can learn what it really takes to build a career in forensic science and meet the real people who work in it day to day—from the science and technology behind the scenes to the skills used in careers inspired by shows like CSI. Don’t forget to stay for the Halloween costume contest 😊

Donate today and help someone take their first step toward a career in forensics!
