Sharing from Seymour Pink founder Mary Deming:

Hello 5K Runners and Walkers!

There is GOOD news and BAD news.

Our 5K registration for this year’s POUNDING the PAVEMENT for PINK has been off the charts!

As you know, we said we would cap the 5K at 2,600 runners/walkers or Sept. 22, whichever came first?

Well there is good news and bad news.

The good news is we are very close to 2,600, the bad news is we will close all registration at 11:59 p.m. this Wednesday, Sept. 13.

IF YOU have NOT registered for this year's 5K and are planning on doing so...time is RUNNING OUT!

Awards for “Most Team Members” in Individual/Family and Business/ Organization” categories, will be determined at the end of registration on Sept. 13.

HOWEVER, all donations made until Sept. 22., will continue to count toward “Most Monies Raised” awards for individual and for teams.

Also, although donations made after Sept. 22 will not count toward 5K awards, we will gratefully accept all online donations until Oct. 26, 2017.

PLEASE share with all who may not have signed up yet for this year’s 5K but are planning to do so; TIME is RUNNING OUT!  

THANK YOU for your support in the FIGHT against breast cancer!

Concert to benefit Seymour family

SEYMOUR - A Concert for a Cause will be held starting at 4 p.m. Oct. 3 at the Community Center, 20 Pine St. 

In addition to several local bands, the event will feature food trucks and craft vendors.

It precedes the annual Smoke in the Valley Craft Beer & Chili Festival that will run from noon to 3 p.m. Oct. 4 at the same location.

The concert will benefit the family of Mark Condo, a board member of Smoke in the Valley and of Seymour Tradition.
Condo died in June at age 45. He is survived by a wife and two children.

Smoke in the Valley follows Seymour Pink's 3rd annual Pounding the Pavement for Pink 5K, which starts and ends at the community center. 
The walk/run to benefit the nonprofit Seymour Pink will start at 9 a.m. Oct. 4.
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

I'll be walking and "pounding the pavement" with other members of Griffin Hospital's  'Circle of Friends,' a breast cancer support group. 
Several of us walked last year - after being treated to breakfast and given goody bags full of fun stuff - and had a great time and a lot of laughs.
We may have brought up the rear, but we finished the walk and that's what matters!
