Awareness Saves Lives—Melody Martin started the Breast Cancer Awareness walk over 25 years ago, because she believed had she gotten her diagnosis sooner, her outcome may have been different. We remember and honor Melody's mission in life—to empower women to identify breast cancer sooner, to have the best chance of survival.
The Martin family, along with The Cancer Support Community are re-booting the Breast Cancer Awareness Walk. Join us on October 26, 2025, come to Switchyard Park from 1:00 - 4:00 pm for the Paint the Town Pink celebration. The event will feature a Breast Cancer Survivor Ceremony, followed by a walk on Switchyard Park's half-mile or one-mile walking trail. Through the event, educational materials and a resource fair will be available. Food trucks will be on-site, offering some delicious local flavors. This event is free and open to the public. Paint the Town Pink shirts are available through pre-registration.
Donations to the walk support a local breast cancer support group, provide SAVI bras for radiation patients, and offer oncology massages for breast cancer patients through the Cancer Support Community.
