From the Organizer
Clarks Summit Goes Pink is a certified non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness about breast cancer and supporting those affected—right here in our own community.
Our mission is to educate, empower, and inspire by bringing people together to make a meaningful difference. Every dollar we raise stays local, helping to provide support, resources, and hope to individuals and families in our area.
Throughout the year, we organize events and initiatives that unite our town in pink—highlighting the importance of early detection, community support, and continued research.
One of our biggest and most anticipated events is our Annual 5K Run / 1 Mile Walk and Community Block Party—a family-friendly celebration of strength, unity, and hope.
At Clarks Summit Goes Pink, we believe that real change starts close to home. Thank you for helping us turn awareness into action—and Clarks Summit into a beacon of support for all who are affected by breast cancer.
Let’s turn Clarks Summit pink together!
