At the MORE THAN PINK Walk, you can expect to laugh, cry, and celebrate with others committed to a world without breast cancer. You’ll learn about Komen’s programs and initiatives in DC, Virginia, and Maryland and hear from people affected by breast cancer from our community. You’ll walk with friends, and when the day is over, you will feel motivated, refreshed, recharged, and ready to take action and continue supporting Komen’s life-saving work.

Here are a few notes on what you can expect on event day:

• Don’t be overwhelmed by the tents, tables and folks you’ll see when you arrive. Find the 97.1 WASH-FM table or one of Susan G. Komen’s helpful event volunteers – they’ll be wearing blue shirts – and they’ll assist with whatever you need, whether you need to find snacks, bathrooms or a special zone for the event.
•  Learn about our sponsors, register to become a Komen advocate, play games, and maybe meet a Komen-funded scientist. There’s so much to see and learn, so don’t miss out on a visit to the tents.
•  Our Hope Village is home to participants who have previously been diagnosed with breast cancer, are in treatment for breast cancer or are living with metastatic breast cancer. You’ll know you’ve reached Hope Village when you find the supporters in light pink and teal shirts.
• Those excited shouts you’ll hear will most likely be generated by the folks in our Top Fundraiser Area, where participants who have raised a minimum of $1,000 are celebrated. If you’ve hit that milestone, don’t forget to stop by so we can celebrate you!
• As you continue to explore, be sure to visit the We Remember tent to add the name of, write a message to, and take a moment to reflect on the person or people in your life who you have lost to breast cancer.
• The centerpiece of the event is the stage. Make sure you get a good spot, as you won’t want to miss a second of our inspiring and motivational Opening Ceremony.
• Once the ceremony ends, it’s time for the Walk to begin! Join friends, family, and other Komen supporters on a perfect walk downtown starting at Freedom Plaza, and don’t be afraid to introduce yourself to others and share why you are supporting Komen. The Walk is the perfect place and time to connect with others and share how you are “More Than Pink.”
