We are delighted to offer an in-person experience as well as a virtual option. There was excellent feedback on the new course that debuted in 2022, and we will continue working to make the event the best ever. Can’t make it this year? You can contribute with an online donation. Each step, each dollar raised will make a giant difference.
Join the fight against breast cancer! Let’s do this!
