📈 Race Impact

The race is now in its 18th year and continues to make an impact and grow. The 2009 inaugural race brought in over 800 participants and raised $20,000. In 2019, there were 2,900 participants and $50,000 raised. All the money raised stays in St. Johns County and goes directly towards our mission of assisting the uninsured and underinsured in the early detection of breast cancer. In the last 18 years, we have been able to pay out over $350,000 in breast imaging services to the men and women in need in our county.
