From the Organizer
Break out the pink tutus to honor breast cancer survivors at the Pink Strides 5K! The American Cancer Society at the University of Iowa student organization is hosting a 5K run and walk event this fall to kickstart the school year and fundraise for cancer research and patient services. Proceeds benefit cancer research grants (including $2 million in research grants from ACS at the UIHC), lodging services for cancer patients like the Russel and Ann Gerdin Hope Lodge in Iowa City, patient programs across the country, and more through the American Cancer Society. To read more about ACS, visit cancer.org. This race is a part of mini events for our annual event, Relay For Life at the University of Iowa. Stay tuned for details on the big event in April 2027. Follow ACS at Iowa student organization on Instagram @acs.uiowa for updates throughout the year.
