BFF . . . Who is your Breast Friend Forever for the Pink Ribbon Run?
Welcome to our BFF (Breast Friends Forever) Pink Ribbon Run. This is a family friendly event with walking and running events for all. Our purpose is to create awareness and raise funds for breast cancer research and treatment. We want to celebrate with those who are fighting and surviving breast cancer and we want to honor the memory of those loved ones who have passed on. Proceeds from race registration and fundraising will benefit local breast cancer organizations. Come join us for this worthy cause . . . Pick your BFF and run with a purpose. You'll be inspired and you'll inspire others!
