Rev Run: A Run/Walk for Breast Cancer Awareness
Join us in the fight against breast cancer and help support access to critical mammogram screenings and breast cancer research.
This event began as a deeply personal journey after my mother, Rev, was diagnosed with breast cancer in January. Our family is turning that challenge into an opportunity to bring the community together, raise awareness, and make a meaningful difference.
Event Options
Participants may choose either:
5K Run/Walk
1-Mile Run/Walk
All ages, abilities, runners, and walkers are welcome.
Your Participation Makes a Difference
Proceeds from the event will support A Silver Lining Foundation. Every registration, donation, and step taken helps expand access to potentially life-saving mammograms and supports continued progress in breast cancer care.
By participating, you are doing more than completing a race. You are helping create hope and supporting a future in which earlier detection and effective treatment can save more lives.
Our family’s experience has shown us the remarkable strength of patients and survivors, as well as the importance of community, compassion, and access to screening.
Race-Day T-Shirts
Registered participants will receive a commemorative Rev Run/Walk T-shirt on race day. T-shirts will be available at the event check-in table before the race.
Run, Walk, or Donate
Whether you participate in the 5K, complete the 1-mile course, volunteer, or make a donation, your support can help provide life-saving screenings and hope for individuals and families affected by breast cancer.
Together, every step can make a difference.
