This Sunday, October 30th, the Kosten Foundation will host its annual Kick It 5K benefiting pancreatic cancer research and support.
“The Kick It 5K isn’t just our largest fundraiser, it’s also a time for us to honor those we’ve lost, celebrate our pancreatic cancer survivors, and enjoy a fun afternoon outside with friends and family,” said Alan Kosten, Chairman of the Kosten Foundation. “We extend our deepest thanks to all of our supporters who volunteer to make the Kick It 5K a great event, as well as those who participate to help raise money for pancreatic cancer research and support.”
The event, which includes a 5K run/walk, 1-mile fun walk, opportunities for spirit/virtual runners, an inspirational memorial and survivor ceremony, entertainment, and vendors, begins at Shelby Farms Park at 1 p.m.
The Kick It 5K is presented by Baptist Memorial Health Care. Runners, walkers, or anyone who would like to support the race can register on the event’s website at kick it 5k.race roster.com.
Registration is $35 to participate in person or virtually, and all proceeds go toward funding pancreatic cancer research. The Kick It 5K is the Kosten Foundation’s largest fundraising event, and at its best-attended, the race has included more than 2,500 participants. Last year’s race raised more than $150,000.Those interested in learning more about the Kosten Foundation’s mission can find more information at kostenfoundation.com.
