2015 Walk for Life/Race for Life Postponed

2015 Walk for Life/Race for Life

WALK FOR LIFE/RACE FOR LIFE POSTPONED UNTIL EARLY 2016 

Important Update!

Over the last few days, our community has suffered tremendously due to unprecedented rainfall and flooding at historic levels. Response efforts have been unlike anything we’ve ever seen before in our community and state. Teams of first responders from our community and surrounding areas have been working day and night to keep us safe and informed. They are heroes! The priority for our law enforcement teams is to help see our community through the flood crisis and move forward towards recovery. This is expected to take some time. Because these critical teams will not be available to safely close streets around Finlay Park and along our walk and race routes, Walk for Life/Race for Life will be rescheduled for early 2016 at Finlay Park in Columbia. We will update you on the date soon. We also will continue to keep registration open for individuals between now and the first of the year.Your interest and continued commitment to beating breast cancer in the Midlands through your participation in Walk for Life/Race for Life speaks volumes about your unwavering commitment to your community and your relentless spirit of giving. Our commitment to this event is strong and unwavering. We hope you will join us to help us fight breast cancer in our community.
In the meantime, if you are a team captain, a member of a team or an individual walker or runner, we want you to have your shirt! Remember—wearing your official 2015 Walk for Life/Race for Life T-shirt or performance shirt will get you free admission to the South Carolina State Fair on Sunday, Oct. 25. To our team captains: Team packet pick-up day will be Monday, Oct. 12, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Palmetto Health Foundation, 1600 Marion St., Columbia.To individual walkers and runners: Pick up your shirts on Thursday, Oct. 15, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday, Oct. 16, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. (note new timeframe) at Palmetto Health Foundation, 1600 Marion St., Columbia.NOTE: You may pick up your shirts, but we will hold your race bibs until early 2016.
Because of you, Palmetto Health Breast Center will continue to provide the very best care right here at home. Your financial support helps provide critical equipment and enhancements of programs and services, so we are not offering refunds on registration fees.
