According to Marie Murray, SJHF EventsCommunity Program Manager, over $57,000 was raised from 360 runners and sponsors.
“We are grateful to our host sponsor RJ Corman Railroad Group and presenting sponsor, LBX, for their continued commitment to the Yes, Mamm! program,” said Delaine Theil, VP of philanthropy, SJH Foundations.
“The Yes, Mamm! program has grown because of the generous sponsorship support from our community. Many race participants have been part of the race since the beginning, which makes for a very special event. We had the perfect fall morning for celebrating our cancer survivors, and look forward to doing it again next year, for the 11th annual race,” said Theil.
The Yes, Mamm! Yes, Cerv! 5K was open to runners of all ages. Proceeds support Yes, Mamm! Yes, Cerv! programs statewide, providing free mammography and cervical cancer screenings, diagnostic testing, and program support to thousands of underinsured and uninsured patients across Kentucky. During the event CHI SJHF hosted a family-friendly health expo with vendors, a kid’s zone, food truck, and DJ.
