THANKS TO ALL SPONSORS, DONORS, PARTICIPANTS…
This may be our organization's most challenging and successful
undertaking yet, an indigenous 3-mile family run/walk within the
African community to raise Breast Cancer Awareness. The PinkWalk
featured a "3 Mile run/walk” at the secured Pinckneyville Community
Park in Norcross, Georgia on Saturday May 5, 2007. On that brisk
Atlanta morning, supporters who recognize the significance of our cause
came out with family and friends (including children, ages five to
adolescence), to participate in the walk and other activities. With
about 50 participants, registering for a minimal fee of $10 each, or
$30/family of four, we grossed over $1,500 - 100% of proceeds benefits
La Femme Africaine's programs and administration.
To encourage participants and foster goodwill, activities included warm
up exercise - led by volunteers Bayo Idowu and Valerie Lloyd of African Network
LLC, 3-mile walk, continental breakfast, recognition, and post walk
“shake down” with pulsating African music supplied by DJ Majesty. With
the help of our generous sponsors, participants walked away with
souvenir giveaways such as writing pads, pencils, breast cancer pins,
and confectionaries. Also, a commemorative PinkWalk t-shirt funded by
presenting sponsor Nalley
BMW and designed by ChavezGraphics.com was distributed to each
PinkWalk participant at the end of the walk.
The PinkWalk is an absolute necessity within our community to ensure
"we walk the walk, as we talk the talk". Research has indicated
physical activity is one of the ways to promote good health and help
reduce cancer occurrence. The run/walk is open to all people of all
races in support of fostering breast cancer awareness; this is our only
program that incorporates the entire family participating in an
activity that promotes well being.
