The 4th Party-In-Pink 5K Walk/Run will be held at Riverside Park in Vinton, Friday, June 24th. The race will start at 6PM. Online registration is available at http://bit.ly/partyinpink2016

The women of the Benton County Survivor’s group has raised $35,000 for the Virginia Gay Healthcare Foundation’s “Gifts of Hope” program. The program has received almost $51,000 in donations and has disbursed nearly $32,000 to patients in need. The program helps fund a variety of healthcare-related costs women experience, including costs for tests, treatments and travel expenses. Qualifying for the program is as simple as talking with your Virginia Gay health care provider at any of the four Virginia Gay Family Medical Clinics in Benton County.

"On behalf of the Party-In-Pink 5k Walk-Run committee, we would like to thank the Virginia Gay Healthcare Foundation for their support of this program," says Lu Karr. "Mike Timmermans, the outgoing Foundation Director, and his replacement, Robin Martin, have both been tremendous supporters of the program."

Mike Timmermans added, "As I look back on my time at Virginia Gay I think the Gifts of Hope program will continue to provide one of my most enduring sources of personal satisfaction."

Dave at Trekman Racing is handling the timing and race administration again this year. This is a cause near to Dave's heart as well because his wife is a breast cancer survivor and a physician.
