Breast Cancer 5K Walk for Sarasota/Manatee Counties

And you thought all we did was sell Real Estate. Well...Randy the Realtor and the Prudential Palms Realty gang will be participating in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K Walk for Sarasota/Manatee Counties on October 24, 2009 at the Sarasota Polo Grounds. Making Strides is the American Cancer Society’s largest event to raise awareness and funds to fight breast cancer here in the area. The Sarasota/Manatee event in 2008 had over 5,000 participants who helped raise $370,000 to help fight breast cancer. This year we are expecting an even bigger event. Making Strides is an opportunity to honor breast cancer survivors especially our friend, Realtor Beth Barnett. As well as educating women about breast cancer prevention, early detection, awareness, the walk will raise funds to help achieve a day when no one will have to hear the words “You have breast cancer.” The walk is on October 24th and starts at 9:00 AM, with registration opening at 7:30 AM. Please contact me or any member of the Jim Soda Group or Prudential Palms Realtors if you have any further questions or would like to donate to this worthy cause. Thank you in advance for supporting the fight against breast cancer. See you there!
