Evening activities and the glow walk
Bring your family and friends to enjoy food, games, music, local vendors, children's activities, and more before we gather together for a meaningful 1-Mile Glow Remembrance Walk.
As the sun sets, participants will light up the night with glow accessories as we walk in honor of those we have lost, celebrate those courageously living with Stage IV breast cancer, and stand alongside the families continuing the fight.

The course
Dress and walk style
Wear your favorite glow gear... glow sticks, light-up accessories, or anything that shines and help us light up the night!
To show your support for the metastatic breast cancer community, we encourage participants to wear PINK, GREEN, and TEAL.
This is a non-competitive, family-friendly walk, so everyone is welcome to participate at their own pace. Strollers, wagons, and participants of all ages and abilities are encouraged to join us.
