AnMed, Anderson University Athletics, and Spero Financial invite you to the 2nd Annual Pink Walk.
The American Cancer Society estimates that 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will have cancer in his or her lifetime. It will impact 2 in 3 families. Propelled by the harsh reality that cancer has on our communities, AnMed, Anderson University Athletics, and Spero Financial joined forces in the fight against cancer.
They invite you to join them for the Pink Walk. This free community event is on Saturday, October 21 on Spero Financial Field (413 Williamston Rd., Anderson, SC) and is open to adults and children of all ages. Registration begins at 9AM and the opening ceremony begins at 9:30AM. The walk will immediately follow. The first 100 attendees will receive a free t-shirt.
All donations from the Pink Walk will benefit Play4Kay, a fundraising initiative that Anderson University Athletics and the Anderson Women’s Basketball Team participate in annually. Play4Kay is part of the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, founded by Coach Kay Yow who passed away in 2009 after a 22-year battle with the disease. Money raised will aid in the fight against all cancers impacting women.

In the words of Coach Kay Yow, “This is something we can do together.”
