The 6th annual Pounding the Pavement for Pink 5K to benefit Seymour Pink brought over 2,600 participants Oct. 7 from over 60 Connecticut towns and 14 states together as a community to fight breast cancer.
“YOU bring new meaning to the word community,” said Mary Deming, president and founder of Seymour Pink. “Because 128 men and women that are here today have heard that breast cancer diagnosis. Many of them are in the fight of their lives. And they are doing it with YOUR support.”
So far, Seymour Pink has collected over $67,000 in donations. This money will help Seymour Pink empower and assist breast cancer victims and their families as well as to fund breast cancer research.
The goal is to reach $75,000 by October 26th. Donations are still being accepted at www.seymourpink.com

The 7th Annual Pounding the Pavement for Pink 5K will be Saturday, October 6, 2018. Online registration will open in early June 2018.
Seymour Pink is an active grassroots organization with many exciting community minded fundraising events ranging including this 5K run/walk, an annual pasta dinner, our annual wine tasting gala, and the day that started it all, a day in October we proclaim as “Seymour Pink” Day where we “SEE MORE PINK” to raise awareness about this life altering disease.
These amazing events are not only successful in raising funds to FIGHT breast cancer, but in bringing a community together in the FIGHT. The support for those victimized by this diagnosis is overwhelming.
