THANK YOU...
for registering for the Virtual Pink Pumpkin Run! Even though it may not be in everyone's best interest to come out and run with hundreds of people this year, there are still hundreds of local women who need YOUR HELP in the fight against breast cancer. Thanks to you, we are making a BIG difference in the lives of women and cancer patients in our community!
As a registered participant you have been entered into the Pink Pumpkin Run Virtual Race in the category in which you registered. Race kits were a bit delayed in production, but will be mailed out starting on October 12 to the address you provided during registration! Remember, our race window opens October 12 and ends on midnight October 28. Registration is open during this window, so there is still time to recruit friends and family to your team!
