Fundraise for Cancers Below the Waist!

Of course running in your pajamas is a lot of fun but so is fundraising! Let’s remember that the Pajama Run is more than just 5k Fun Run.   The Pajama Run was created to help raise awareness and funds for research on cancers below the waist such as colorectal, prostate, ovarian and pancreatic cancers. 

YOU can help make a difference in your community by raising funds for this good cause.  For us to reach our Team Goal of $40,000, each runner must raise at least $100 in individual fundraising.   This is easier than you think! We have partnered with Razoo.com to make fundraising for cancer below the waist as easy as updating your Facebook status.  

We are looking Volunteers!

If you would like to be a race day volunteer please email Kayla Droney and we'll get back with you on how you can help.
