“We are excited to welcome Walk participants in person this year and grateful for the opportunity to provide a community for anyone who has been impacted by breast cancer.

The event welcomes all the members of the breast cancer community honoring friends, family and anyone who has been impacted by the disease. “The MORE THAN PINK Walk is about making strides toward curing breast cancer and the funds raised through registrations and sponsorships will give more individuals who have been impacted by the disease access to resources and the support they need now," said Mr. Newman.

The Power of ONE Week – a week’s worth of events to honor those who have been impacted by breast cancer – will precede the Walk on Sept. 26-30.  A schedule of in-person and virtual events and additional details will be announced.
