Join us on September 25, 2010!
The KEEP ABREAST 5k Walk, 5k/10k Run and Community Expo brings hundreds of breast cancer patients and survivors from all over the Bay Area together to lace up their sneakers and rally family, friends and neighbors to raise funds to support those who have battled breast cancer. The day starts with a moving opening ceremony that includes the release of doves by a circle of breast cancer survivors. After this uplifting moment, participants “hit the trail” and then return to visit the Community Resource Expo featuring sponsor and community booths.
