Food banks will be onsite to disperse the donated nonperishable items and will be able to accept monetary donations. All other funds raised will support the Cancer Support Fund at Delta Health Foundation (DHF).

Registrants receive sunglasses and an “I Can Fight Cancer” long sleeve shirt that can be splattered with colors throughout the 1K (just over 1/2 a mile) fun run or walk. The entry fee is $15, to be accessible and encourage people to bring nonperishable items to support those in need.

 Food banks will be onsite to collect food donations. Suggested donations include:

– canned beans and tomatoes
– peanut butter, or other nut butters
– canned fruit in juice (not in light or heavy syrup)
– canned vegetables (with no or low-sodium)
– low-sodium soups
– canned tuna in water
– brown rice
– quinoa
– shelf-stable milk and milk substitutes
– whole-grain pasta
– low-sodium pasta sauce
– canned stews
– unsweetened apple sauce
– olive or canola oil
– dried fruits, no sugar added
– chicken, beef, and vegetable broths and stock

Participants can choose to stop at a color station that represents a specific cancer awareness or stop at every station to show a smattering of support for themselves, loved ones, and friends experiencing cancer. Donations received recognizing a loved one lost, a Survivor, or Supporter will be recognized on-site during the event.

 Survivor: anyone who has ever been diagnosed with cancer no matter where they are in the course of their journey

 Supporter: a caregiver or someone in attendance honoring a Cancer Survivor or in memory of a loved one
