Fore Her is excited to announce the 2024 Pink Walk & 5k on Saturday, January 27th presented by Emerald Coast Hospice.
The event returns to The Village of Baytowne Wharf and will bring back the timed 5k race in addition to the Survivor Stroll and annual Walk, after a great success introducing the 5k in 2023.
“I am so excited for this year’s Pink Walk to help so we can continue to help more breast cancer patients along the Emerald Coast,” says Jennifer Crawford, Board Vice President of Fore Her. “Our 2023 event had close to 200 runners and walkers and we are hoping to grow it even more this year”
The community is invited to walk or run with friends and family, wear pink, and have fun while raising funds for breast cancer patients in financial need. Attendees will enjoy an after-party with a DJ, a photo booth, prizes, and food samples. All registered breast cancer survivors can enjoy the VIP Survivors’ Lounge sponsored by Rum Runners which will feature special treats including hand massages, and more.
“This event helps raise funds for those who are financially struggling while battling breast cancer. The funds raised help with the things not covered by insurance to help relieve some stress for our recipients – utilities, rent, and additional living expenses” adds Crawford.
Fore Her has sponsorships still available and will join current sponsors including Emerald Bay Plumbing, Jennifer Crawford Realtor, Keller Williams, Julie + Rob of Scenic Sotheby’s Realty, Fresh Prints of South Walton, South Walton Plastic Surgery, All In Credit Union, Jenetta’s Simple Treats, and Charlie’s Cafe. All who register will enjoy a virtual swag bag as an added opportunity for all sponsors and benefit the participants.
