CARE Walk Saturday

Hundreds of individuals and families will hit the pavement on Saturday when the Breast

Cancer 5K CARE Walk returns for its 20th and final year. This annual event has raised nearly $300,000 since 2001, with 100% of the proceeds helping organizations that support underserved and uninsured Miami Valley residents who are inflicted with cancer. All proceeds will go towards the

CARE Walk Fund, a component of The Dayton Foundation, with grants advised by a committee of longtime, dedicated community volunteers.

Walkers and runners of all ages are encouraged to participate. The event starts at Oakwood High School’s Mack Hummon Football Stadium located behind the high school at 1200 Far Hills Ave. Opening events, including registration and refreshments, begins at 8 a.m. with the walk starting promptly at 9 a.m. Registration is $15 per student, $25 per adult or $55 per family. Leigh Ann Fulford, co-founder of CARE Walk, said, “All funds raised support individuals in the Greater Dayton area and are tax deductible, thanks to having a fund through The Dayton Foundation.” For more information or to register, visit www.carewalk. org or contact contactcarewalk@gmail.com.
