More than 140 women (and some men) are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in Gordon County. This number is well above the state and national averages. The AdventHealth Gordon Foundation assists in raising funds to help provide breast cancer services for the greater Northwest Georgia community.
The proceeds from the 5k Race Around the Rec help fund breast cancer services at AdventHealth Gordon, including the construction of the Edna Owens Breast Center at AdventHealth Gordon, which opened July 15, 2019.
THE EDNA OWENS BREAST CENTER ON THE CAMPUS OF ADVENTHEALTH GORDON, OPENED JULY 15, 2019.
*Race shirts and other goodies will be proved to all participants. Sign up, come out and run or walk, and make a real difference in peoples' lives!
