You can walk or run your way to the finish line. After the race, enjoy a morning of activities for the whole family. The Fall Festival is a free event. You do not have to race to come and join the fun. Family activities include food, live music, and children’s activities from 8:30 until 11:00 am.

LCBF focuses on early detection research, awareness education, and support services for GYN cancer patients and families. Since our founding in 2009, we have granted more than $500,000 for ovarian cancer early detection research, educated tens of thousands of community members on GYN cancer prevention info, signs and symptoms, and provided emotional, educational, and direct financial support to thousands of GYN cancer patients and their loved ones.
