Colleen Ritzer's friends and family created this annual event to honor her life and her commitment to teaching and inspiring others. Proceeds benefit the Colleen E. Ritzer Memorial Fund, which fosters a society of compassion with kindness as a motivating influence in all its endeavors.
Each year, the Step Up for Colleen draws walkers and runners of all ages to the USA Track & Field certified course. They create a sea of pink, which was Colleen's favorite color.
Registration is open! Sign up as an individual or start - or join - a team. The fee is only $25 through March 14th, then it increases as race day approaches. The first 3,000 registrants will receive a t-shirt, and each member of a team with 10+ people on it will receive a special gift. Corporate sponsorships are available!
Here's just a sample of what we have in store this year:
* Todd Angilly, who sings at each Boston Bruins home game, will sing the national anthem
* Our emcees will be David O'Leary & Kendra Petrone of The Morning MAGIC team from MAGIC 106.7
* Boston Sports Mascots
* Magician Chris Herrick
* Pink Hair Extensions & Glitter Freckles
* Friendship Bracelet Making with Sidney’s Rainbows
* Face Painting by Kidz Wishing Well
* Pink Cotton Candy
* Fun STEM Activities by STEMSpot
* Balloon Twisting by Mr. Twister
* And Much More!
