"Adding event locations allows more people to get involved in our 3-Day community and join the fight against breast cancer. None of this would be possible without our amazing 3-Day participants, each of who is dedicated to this cause. Every step taken during a 3-Day event is a step closer to ending breast cancer forever. We invite you to come join our 'pink bubble' and register for a 2023 event today."
