Winona Health Foundation’s Think Pink Color Fun Run Raises $18,000 for Their Breast Cancer Fund

(KWNO)-The second annual Think Pink Color Fun Run is over, and the number of participants more than doubled.

Family-friendly activities included bounce houses, hair chalk, face painting, cotton candy, music from Winona’s Little Warriors Drumline, Leighton Broadcasting, and much more. Local mascots Rowdy from Cotter Schools, Big Red from Saint Mary’s University, Herky from Winona Senior High School, and Sparky from the Winona Fire Department participated in a pre-race competition.

The Think Pink Color Fun Run benefits Winonans undergoing breast cancer treatment through the Winona Health Foundation’s Breast Cancer Fund.

This year, more than $18,000 was raised in the fight against breast cancer.

The Think Pink Color Fun Run also focused on recognizing and appreciating caregivers who are affected by a loved one’s cancer diagnosis.

Winona Health would like to thank the Think Pink Color Fun Run participants “for signing up, showing up, supporting, and sharing [their] enthusiasm to raise money for the Breast Cancer Fund.”

Winona Health’s vow to those affected by cancer is, “Until a cure is found, we will continue to make a difference to patients and families through our Breast Cancer Fund.”

Next year’s Think Pink Color Fun Run will take place on Saturday, October 7, 2023.
