SBL/Mattoon Host Paint the Town 5K for Cancer Awareness
•September 4, 2019•
Cancer affects us all in some way, so Sarah Bush Lincoln is encouraging community members to come together to create awareness, honor loved ones and support cancer warriors during its Paint the Town 5K Color Run/Walk on Saturday, Oct. 12, in Mattoon. Net proceeds will be used to support people fighting cancer at the SBL Regional Cancer Center.
This is the fourth year the Health Center has hosted a non-timed cancer awareness color run/walk, drawing more than 600 friends and family members together each year. This year’s Paint the Town pre-run party begins at 8 a.m. Festivities include music, a dynamic stretching warm-up with personal trainers from the SBL Center for Healthy Living at 8:30 a.m., and a special bubble blowing celebration in honor of cancer warriors at 8:55 a.m.
