    Join us for the 6th Annual Sunset on Cancer 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run on Saturday, October 3rd. This family friendly event will include food, live music, and kids activities. For the kids, we will have a face painter, a balloon guy and there is a park and the beach nearby to enjoy after the race. 

    Join us in honor of Cancer Survivors and their families.  In conjunction with our fundraising efforts, our goal at this event is to raise awareness and honor the many people in our community who are affected with all types of malignancies and to celebrate all of our survivors. All proceeds will support Singing River Foundation Cancer Fund and a portion of theses proceeds also support the American Cancer Society.
