Susan G. Komen’s new and improved annual More than Pink Walk in San Diego will be held in-person on Sunday, November 7 at Balboa Park (Corner of 6th Ave. and Laurel St.), with exciting interactive activities after the walk for all guests and participants.
The signature fundraising event will begin with an opening ceremony at 7:30 a.m., followed by the walk at 8 a.m. Afterwards, participants are invited to take part in fun and exciting activities, from music to health screenings, food trucks and more for the entire community to enjoy.
The event this year will be more interactive. It brings not only a new name, the More than Pink Walk - but a new format as well. Susan G. Komen will focus on bringing together an empowered community for a fresh experience in a new location in Balboa Park.
Participants will have several areas of engagement including pre and post walk yoga sessions, multiple food trucks offering a variety of cuisines, Ford display vehicles, exclusive tour and viewing of mammogram screening techniques and procedures, team and individual photo opportunities and backdrops, and immersive art installations.
Susan G. Komen’s Hope Village provides current patients, Survivors, and Thrivers (those living with metastatic breast cancer) with special self-care demonstrations, massage services, and free food to honor and celebrate their personal journeys. The Pillars area showcases Komen’s initiatives in research, critical patients care, community programs, and policy and advocacy.
In addition, community leaders in breast cancer related fields will provide presentations and demonstrations on topics ranging from Breast Cancer 101 to how families and friends can support patients and survivors on their journey.
The Walk will raise the financial resources needed to fund life-saving research investments, raise public awareness, and support folks fighting breast cancer. By uniting under one cause, Komen has been able to make an immense impact. They have raised more than $2 billion to date, with 80 cents or more of every dollar going directly to research, screening services, local healthcare, financial assistance, and support services. Currently, $988 million has been invested in research, more than any other non-profit.
