The inaugural San Diego Paws FUR Pink\u00ae 5K and 1-mile run\/walk will be held on Sunday, Sept. 21 at Liberty Station in San Diego. This dog-friendly event partially benefits Susan G. Komen San Diego to support local breast health services and celebrates the unconditional love owners share with their four-legged family members. Produced by Book That Event, LLC Paws FUR Pink\u00ae has had a presence in Orange County for the past two years and is now expanding to San Diego.
\n“Breast cancer has affected my life in a very unusual way,” said Jennifer Terieau. “My dog, Roxy, the poster dog for San Diego\u2019s Paws FUR Pink, recently underwent a triple mastectomy after five hard lumps were discovered in her mammary tract.” “This event is such a great way for owners to get outdoors and exercise with their four-legged friends to make a difference in the lives of women in San Diego that are affected by breast cancer,” she said.
\nPartial proceeds from Paws FUR Pink\u00ae will benefit Susan G. Komen San Diego to support education, outreach, free mammograms, financial and food assistance, transportation and more. A donation of $5 per 5K and 1-mile entry fee, all fundraising pledge money raised and 5 percent of net proceeds will be allocated post-event.
\nWhether participants are walking to celebrate their own survival, in honor of another survivor or in memory of someone who lost their battle, each runner\/walker can expect a memorable, fun-filled morning. In addition to the 5K and the 1-mile run\/walk, the event features a FURever Yours Expo, Lassie Loop Lil Kids Dash, and a PAWsitively Pink Costume Contest. Participants and their four-legged friends are challenged to raise $125, the average cost of a Komen-funded mammogram. Participants who raise $125 will earn a Paws Fur Pink doggy bandana.
\nAll events will start and finish at\u00a02640 Historic Decatur Road at Liberty Station. Registration and packet pick-up opens at 7 a.m.
