The 17th Annual 5K Walk-Run to benefit the Center for Cancer Care at Griffin Hospital invites everyone to lace up their sneakers and take meaningful steps toward advancing cancer care on Sept. 20. Thanks to the support of Presenting Sponsor D’Addario Auto Group, this year’s 5K Walk-Run will help bring innovative, person-centered radiation oncology technology to Griffin’s cancer center.
Held at the Center for Cancer Care, 300 Seymour Ave., Derby, this non-competitive, family-friendly event is for walkers and runners who take part in honor of a loved one, for a cause, to improve their health and fitness, and to show support for their community.
The event begins with day-of registration at 7:30 a.m., and the 5K starts at 9 a.m. Registration is $35 and includes a t-shirt. The registration fees will increase by $5 after Sept. 8. Pre-registration is encouraged at www.griffinhealth.org/5k.
In addition to D’Addario Auto Group, several generous community partners have already signed on to support the Walk-Run, including Jefferson Radiology, The Edge Fitness in Derby, Masonic Charity Foundation, CED, Teamsters Local Union 1150, and In-Home Angels.
Participants can also purchase a commemorative sign for $100 to honor or memorialize a loved one that will be displayed at The Center for Cancer Care. For more information, contact Laura Howell at [email protected] or 203-732-1263.
