Amanda Pair Foundation Legacy Run presented by Alabama Oncology

🏃‍♀️ About the Foundation

The Amanda Pair Foundation exists to overcome cancer. We’re named for Amanda Pair, a beloved wife, mother, friend, and community member who courageously battled lung cancer until it took her life at the age of 40 in June 2022. We know Amanda represents millions of individuals and families who are experiencing the same pain we did throughout her journey. This fuels us every day to embody Amanda’s bold spirit to stand with those who are still here fighting.

🎗️ Race Impact

Utilizing the power of community, we’re working to overcome cancer through our three-pronged approach of caring for families, funding research, and investing in the next generation:

• Majority of Proceeds: directed to funding a memorial scholarship created in Amanda’s memory by the Foundation and the Vestavia Hills Elementary Liberty Park PTO.
• PTO Contribution: Amanda enthusiastically volunteered with the VHELP PTO for many years, including serving as PTO President during the 2020-2021 school year.
• Annual Award: This scholarship is awarded annually to a senior VHELP alumni at VHHS who exemplifies the rebel spirit with a servant heart.
• Long-term Impact: The scholarship will be available each year through 2035.
