From the Organizer
Breast cancer affects millions of families every year. Last October, the Bama Runs for Breast Cancer 5K raised almost $4,400 for The DCH Breast Cancer Fund to help local women needing breast cancer screening and patient support. On Friday, October 2, this year’s 5k fundraiser will:
- Raise funds for two meaningful causes:
- DCH Health System's Help & Hope Fund - Paxman Project to provide patients with free Paxman scalp-cooling treatments to prevent hair loss during chemotherapy and boost morale
- Universities Against Cancer's The Pink Promise Fund to provide emergency assistance (i.e. utility support, hospital bills, co-pays) as needed for breast cancer patients under an active diagnosis
- Promote awareness of breast cancer prevention and support within the UA and greater Tuscaloosa community.
Unite the community on and off campus in a meaningful, service-driven initiative, as this 5k run/walk is open to all students, faculty, staff and community members! - Unite the community on and off campus in a meaningful, service-driven initiative, as this 5k run/walk is open to all students, faculty, staff and community members!
