Over the past three years, the Love Walk has raised more than $150,000 for the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation. One hundred percent of these proceeds are used to fund research that is moving breast cancer beyond a cure.
After the walk/run, the community is invited to enjoy a family food festival with several local food trucks, including: Let's Be Frank, Coolhaus Ice Cream and Del's Lemonade! Plus, various free activities for the kids.
