Strength in Colors 5K & KIDS DASH

🏃‍♂️ Join the Strength in Colors 5K & KIDS DASH

You are invited to join us for the 8th Annual Strength in Colors 5K & KIDS DASH (SIC5K). Our inaugural SIC5K took place in 2018 and each year since then, participation and support has grown moving us closer to a world without cancer. The Crawford Crew exists to help those who have been affected by an HPV-related cancer and/or who would like to learn how to protect themselves, their children and grandchildren from six types of cancer. Join us and find out what the six cancers are, how they are preventable, and what colors represent each of them. Together we will:

• Celebrate: survivors,
• Remember: and honor those we’ve lost,
• Learn: how to prevent HPV-related cancers,
• Share: lived experiences.
