Pounding the Pavement for Pink Races

🏃‍♀️ Pounding the Pavement for Pink

Join us for our annual 5k Road Race through the streets of Seymour, Connecticut as we Pound the Pavement to fight breast cancer.

🎗️ Let’s Fight Breast Cancer

• Year of Initiation: In 2012, Seymour Tradition, a nonprofit organization in our town whose focus is on teaching young girls the values of sportsmanship, teamwork and discipline, asked Seymour Pink, Inc. if we would co-host a 5K race.
• Partnership: Seymour Pink was so excited about the offer to partner up with this fine organization. We held a naming contest in town and the 5K race Pounding the Pavement for Pink was born!
• Initial Success: In our first year, both of these non-profit organizations realized a total of $24,000. These monies have helped both Seymour Pink and Seymour Tradition advance our missions.
• Impact: Thanks to the community’s support of this event, Seymour Pink has raised over $1.2 MILLION from this event alone for breast cancer research!
