Since its creation, Rock ‘N Run has donated over $600,000 to the fight against breast and ovarian cancer.
It’s time once again for the annual 5K fundraising event. Last year, more than $100,000 was raised for the cause. Rock ’N Run will be Sept. 22 at Evelyn Greer Park, 8200 SW 124th St. in Pinecrest. The Village of Pinecrest is a Community Partner and Miami Cancer Institute is the Presenting Sponsor.
Beneficiary non-profits include UM Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer — Cancer Link, Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance, Ovarian Research & Education Fund-MCI, The Women’s Breast & Heart Initiative, Sharsheret, and FORCE.
Hundreds of participants will “Fight ‘N Heal Pink ‘N Teal” as they gear up to dance, walk or run at the annual community event that brings together survivors and their friends and family members.
“It feels like a big reunion every time,” said Jackie Zucker, a longstanding Rock ‘N Run sponsor. “I love touching base with everyone, getting the chance to catch up with old friends while helping women in need.”
You can register early for $30 at www.rocknrun.org or sign up the morning of the event for $35.
