Park District of Franklin Park Pink Out Dance for The Cure 

Welcome to Park District of Franklin Park Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser Webpage! 

Dear Friends and family,

We are delighted to have you here at our Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser webpage. Your presence on this digital platform signifies your commitment to making a positive impact in the fight against breast cancer. Together, we can amplify awareness, drive change, and support those affected by this challenging journey. We want to help Susan G. Komen save lives and end breast cancer forever. 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will be impacted by breast cancer in their lifetime, which is why we’ve created a tout every 2 minutes, one case of breast cancer is diagnosed in the U.S. and about every 46 seconds someone dies from breast cancer globally, making that about 1,876 women and men daily. Breast cancer is a global issue that affects millions of lives, and it's through collective action and compassionate hearts that we can make a difference.

Go Pink for the Cure is a fundraising program for Susan G. Komen that encourages healthy living and breast cancer awareness. Ending breast cancer NEEDS all of us. We want to empower our community and help end breast cancer together!

Together the Go Pink for the Cure program and Park District of Franklin Park shine a light on health awareness and on making healthy lifestyle choices. 

The key breast cancer self-awareness message is to make healthy lifestyle choices. These lifestyle choices may help lower the risk of breast cancer and contribute to overall good health. Staying Active is key! Women who get regular physical activity have up to a 20 percent lower risk of breast cancer than women who don’t.

Parks and Recreation can play a big part in leading an active and healthy lifestyle! Together we can create a unique space to join our passion for healthy living and commitment to the community and take a bold step in making a HUGE impact in the fight against breast cancer!
