The 13th annual Dewey Goes Pink event raised a record-breaking $365,000 for the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and according to the American Cancer Society, one in three women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. To raise money and increase access to care, two local business owners in Dewey Beach have hosted the Dewey Goes Pink fundraiser since 2012. The town says this year about 5,000 people are signed up for the event, which includes a 5K and 1.5-mile fun walk.
The thirteenth annual Dewey Goes Pink fundraiser and The Gugie Run will paint the town pink on Saturday, Oct. 5, bringing together families, friends and teams to support breast cancer awareness and local services.
The annual Dewey Goes Pink 5k is set to begin at 11 A.M. on Saturday, October 7th.
