Faith in Pink
Want to promote breast health awareness at your place of worship? We’re promoting this year’s Faith In Pink Program for Sunday, October 17, but can provide materials for any day that works for your congregation. This is a great way to educate members of your congregation on breast health and breast cancer while celebrating survivors. We will provide breast health information packets and can provide program information that can be easily tailored to your individual needs.

If you would like to request materials for a Faith In Pink program at your church, temple or other faith-based organization, please complete this short survey or contact us.

Marathon for the Cure
Cheer on members of the inaugural Marathon for the Cure team at the Columbus Marathon and Half Marathon on Sunday, October 17.

Susan G. Komen Marathon for the Cure will be hosting the water distribution at Mile 2 (water stop B) of the Columbus Marathon from 6-9:30am. We need at least 50 volunteers to pass out water to runners. All volunteers will receive an official Columbus Marathon hat and shirt and a pink bandana to ‘pink up’ the water stop. As a volunteer, you will be able to keep enthusiasm going with a 30-day membership to Urban Active on behalf of the Columbus Marathon. Haven’t convinced you yet? Volunteers are also invited to join in a post race celebration at Park Street Patio later that day. Sign up to volunteer and show your support while gaining a front row view to all the action! Email the Marathon for the Cure team captain with any questions.
