Prostate Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in men. With this in mind, we believe it’s a prime time to make prostate cancer awareness a top priority in our communities and support men and their families in taking the necessary steps for caring for themselves.
The 5K Suit Run™ is a stylish fashionable fun run designed to assist with:
- Raising money in support of American Cancer Society’s programs and research
- Facilitating awareness of prostate cancer
- Empowering men to pursue healthier lifestyles
Additionally, runners will have the opportunity to donate new or gently worn suits to our local Veterans who are transitioning into the workforce.
So whether you are a walker or a runner; a supporter or survivor; man, woman or child, we invite you to join us in making this movement a success.
*10% of each Runners registration fee will go the American Cancer Society's programs and research. All donations are tax deductible as allowed by law*
Runners as well as supporters will also have the opportunity to raise additional funds that will be donated to American Cancer Society's programs and research.
For sponsorship opportunities, please contact 5KSuitRun@gmail.com.
