Peace Goes Pink is back in Grande Prairie this week, with a couple community fundraisers.
The Peace Goes Pink, is a fundraiser hosted by the Pomeroy hotel where they set-up fundraisers in October to raise money for breast cancer awareness.
The first event will take place on Friday October 3rd with a comedy show, with $5 from each ticket going towards the Canadian Cancer Society. But the big annual event is the Run For A Cure on Sunday October 5th.
The run will take place in Muskoseepi Park from 8:30 a.m. until noon.
Regional Manager for Pomeroy Hotel says that there is still time to get involved.
“it’s not too late to participate. Even if you don’t know someone, or have had someone that has experienced breast cancer, just coming out to support or be part of it is really what we’re looking for in bringing the community together as a whole.”
With the help of fundraisers like these ones, there has been a 47 per cent decrease in breast cancer mortality rates since the late 1980s.
