JOIN KOMEN GREATER DETROIT FOR MAY ACTIVITIES
YOU CAN’T GO OUT, BUT YOU CAN “PINK IT OUT”
DETROIT, MI - For 25 years, over 20,000 people have gathered in downtown Detroit to celebrate, remember, educate, and raise awareness about early detection of breast cancer and the importance of research. Our May 2, 2020 race has been canceled - but our hope has not. So that the spirit of the Race lives on, we are announcing a series of Facebook activities to take place during May. Your participation will help us keep our mission alive and raise much-needed funds to continue supporting the communities we serve.
Breast cancer doesn’t take a break, and neither will we. If you can’t go out, you can still “Pink it Out” by joining us for our fun activities, events, and prizes throughout May.
