The Susan G. Komen breast cancer organization will host the 2023 Inland Empire More Than Pink Walk Oct. 8 at Town Square Park in Murrieta.
Previous walks have drawn more than 2,000 people to the event that celebrates breast cancer survivors and honors those who have died from the disease. The walk also raises funds for research and support services for breast cancer patients, including financial assistance, screening and diagnostics and patient navigation services.
“We are excited to have the community join us this year at the More Than Pink Walk to make a difference in our fight against breast cancer in our community,” Jill Eaton, executive director for Inland Empire Susan G. Komen, said in a news release. “Continuing to support individuals going through breast cancer in our community is critical to our mission and it is clear that our services are needed as the demand increases.”
Breast cancer survivors and those living with metastatic disease, caregivers, family members and loved ones will come together at Town Square Park at 7 a.m. when the event site opens. The opening ceremony begins at 8 a.m., followed by the walk at 8:30 a.m.
Sponsors include Abbott, Pechanga Resort & Casino, Inland Empire Health Plan, Amazon, Milgard Windows and Doors, The Camp Transformation Center, the city of Murrieta, Loma Linda University Health Murrieta, Teamsters Local 1932, Smith Marion, Circle K West Division, Pure Steel, United University of Nursing, Cruz’s Tacos, City of Hope, Murrieta Hot Springs Resort, Impact Instant Canopy USA, KABC and KFROG.
