 Pre-RACE Breast Cancer
Survivors Breakfast:
Survivors are invited to a light celebratory breakfast buffet at 7:30 AM on RACE morning in the Pretty in Pink Cafe tent. Volunteers will be available to aid those who may require assistance. The breakfast is sponsored by United Health Care.
We encourage survivor family and friends to enjoy a cup of coffee and other park activities during the breakfast.
Everyone running or walking in the RACE is invited to personally recognize cherished survivors by wearing one of the pink "In Memory Of" or "In Honor Of" bibs. The pink bibs are available at the Registration Tent at no extra cost.
Survivor Photograph: After the breakfast, a group photograph will be taken at 8:30 AM at the bleachers followed by survivor recognition. Survivors will walk from the Pretty in PInk Cafe tent to the bleachers at the Start/Finish Line.
The Survivor Tent will remain open throughout the RACE. Please feel free to return to relax and spend time with family, friends and other survivors.
After the Survivor Breakfast, please come to the Survivor Tent and visit the researchers who were given grants in 2008 and 2009. They will be happy to speak with you and tell you about their on-going exciting research.
