Save the date for Susan G. Komen San Diego’s More than Pink Walk on November 7
Susan G. Komen San Diego’s signature fundraiser has a new name, new location, and new format. On November 7, supporters will take part in the More than Pink Walk. The all-day event at Balboa Park will begin with an opening ceremony at 7:30 a.m. and end with music to health screenings, yoga sessions, photo stops, immersive art installations, food trucks, and more. Susan G. Komen’s Hope Village will also be on hand to provide current patients, survivors, and those living with metastatic breast cancer self-care demonstrations, massage services, and food. For those who are unable to attend the event in person, a virtual option will also be available.
“Now, more than ever, it’s vital for our community to come together once again to support those facing a breast cancer diagnosis. The COVID-19 pandemic caused many women to delay or forgo their regular screenings and disrupted treatment plans, and current estimates say that may cause the loss of 10,000 additional lives from breast and colorectal cancer,” says Meredith Hall-Chand, executive director of Susan G. Komen in San Diego. “We’re asking all San Diegans to join us as one united community so that we can stem this tide and reach those women and men who need our services the most. Please join us on November 7th.”
Proceeds from the More than Pink Walk will go toward cancer research, raising public awareness, and supporting folks fighting breast cancer.
