Virtual Pink Pumpkin Run/Walk Event

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease.

By uniting as a community that recognizes the value of all women, we can work ToGetHer to make sure every woman has access to education, screening, treatment, support, and hope, regardless of her circumstances.

With the unforeseen circumstances with Covid, this year’s Pink Pumpkin Walk will take place virtually. Let’s take this opportunity to come together as a community!

Pink Pumpkin Walk/Run 2020
is now VIRTUAL!

Registration closes 9/20/2020 at 11:59 p.m.

Two walk/runs (communities) coming together
for one great cause. 

Please join in the celebration of cancer survivors, warriors, supporters and friends this October in our Virtual Pink Pumpkin Walk/Run event!  The world may look a little different right now, but one thing hasn’t changed:  our commitment to preventing cancer!  This year Pink Pumpkin Walk/Run is everywhere – in every community, every neighborhood and every treadmill.

The health and safety of our participants and volunteers are our top priorities.  This year’s event won’t be a large in-person gathering – instead, we are inviting our participants to walk in small teams of friends and family while others in our communities are doing the same.  Because we’re all walking and fundraising for the same thing:  a world without cancer!

A virtual walk/run gives you the option to run or walk on your own time, with your friends and family members.    You can form a team in honor of or in support of a cancer patient, survivor, or in memory of someone who passed away from cancer.

We walk together to stand with those going through a diagnosis or treatment of breast cancer, to honor those who have fought breast cancer and won and to remember those we lost too soon. One hundred percent of funds raised from Pink Pumpkin Walk/Run benefit Beat Cancer Family Foundation’s P.A.C.E. (Prevention and Cancer Education) programs in our local schools.  The life-saving presentation educate students, women and men about cancer prevention, early detection, risk factors, myths and healthy lifestyle choices.

• Register as an individual or start a team;
• Virtual walkers can use our online tools and resources to recruit and fundraise online;
• Join us on walk day virtually by sharing your pictures, videos and posts from your neighborhood walk using our hashtags #PPW2020 #bcffmission #bcffinspire on Facebook and Instagram.

Remember, with a virtual event you can recruit walkers from anywhere, and, as always, 100 percent of the funds you raise stays local and goes directly to cancer prevention education.  Beat Cancer Family Foundation is the only provider of school-based educational programs on cancer in Northeast and Central Wisconsin. Students learn healthy habits (nutrition, exercise, detection, etc.) they can adopt now to help reduce their risk of developing cancer later in life.
