The Purple Promise Foundation AND South End Small Businesses

The Purple Promise Foundation to End Melanoma was founded in April of 2008 in memory of Jessica Hodgkins Dovi who lost her life to melanoma cancer at the age of 30.

In addition to raising awareness of the disease and how to prevent it, the foundation seeks to recognize and benefit melanoma cancer researchers and all others working to cure melanoma cancer or support patients and caregivers, and to lead efforts to find better treatments and a cure for melanoma.

For more information on the foundation and melanoma itself visit www.purplepromise.org.

This year's South End Shuffle is going to be a celebration of getting back to doing the things we love to do and supporting South End and Local Small businesses and business owners that have been affected by COVID-19. Even once restrictions start being lifted and businesses are able to open their doors again, so much will be different and so many will continue to need help and our support. This is why in 2020, the South End Shuffle 5K & Mile Run is making a commitment to our community in helping raising funds for these business to get back and stay on their feet!
