More Than Pink Walk
Participants of Susan G. Komen’s signature fundraising event will have several areas of engagement along with the 8am walk, including pre- and post-walk yoga sessions, multiple food trucks, exclusive viewings of mammogram screening techniques and procedures, photo opportunities, and immersive art installations.
Susan G. Komen’s Hope Village provides current patients, survivors, and thrivers (those living with metastatic breast cancer) special self-care services, while the Pillars area showcases Komen’s initiatives in research, critical patient care, community programs, and policy and advocacy. In addition, community leaders in breast cancer-related fields will provide presentations and demonstrations on topics ranging from Breast Cancer 101 to how families and friends can support patients and survivors on their journey.
A virtual event option will also be available. To date, Komen has raised more than $2 billion, with 80 cents or more of every dollar going directly to research, screening services, local healthcare, financial assistance, and support services.
