Griffin 5K walk/run to benefit Center for Cancer Care slated Oct. 24


DERBY - Save the date for the 18th Annual 5K Walk-Run to Benefit the Center for Cancer Care at Griffin Hospital set for Saturday, Oct. 24.

The 5k Walk/Run was started by the caregivers of the Cancer Center as a way to raise funds to purchase wigs for patients.
The first Walk/Run exceeded expectations drawing over 250 participants and raising more than $25,000, providing opportunity for additional financial support for patients as they undergo cancer treatment.

The 5K has drawn thousands of participants over the years and raised more than $900,000 to help support local cancer survivors in its 17-year history.
Participants can walk or run individually, form a team with their family, friends and co-workers, and collect pledges and payments. Awards will be presented to the top fundraising team and the top fundraising individual at the event.
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.
Individuals and teams can register online at griffinhealth.org/5k.
