From the Race Organizer
“A Decade of Impact: Every Step, Every Story, Every Color Matters” This year is especially meaningful as we celebrate 10 Years of Impact through advocacy, education, support, and hope for individuals and families affected by cancer. For the sixth consecutive year, our annual 5K Run/Walk will bring together survivors, caregivers, families, community leaders, and supporters from across Metro Atlanta to honor those impacted by cancer and raise critical funds to support our mission. The mission of the Every Color Matters Cancer Awareness Foundation is to educate communities about cancer prevention and early detection while providing financial assistance, resources, and support to families currently battling all forms of cancer. Over the past decade, our organization has provided nearly $400,000 in funding, services, and resources to cancer patients and their families, ensuring they feel seen, supported, and valued throughout their journey. We would love your support and involvement as we prepare for this year's event. Whether through participation, sponsorship, volunteerism, community outreach, or simply helping us spread the word, your partnership will help make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve. The 6th Annual Every Color Matters 5K Run/Walk will feature: • A community wellness experience for all ages • Survivor and caregiver recognition • Family-friendly activities and entertainment • Health and wellness resources • Opportunities to honor loved ones impacted by cancer • Fundraising efforts that directly benefit local cancer patients and families As a valued member of the surrounding community, we wanted to make you aware of this upcoming event and extend a personal invitation to join us. Together, we can continue building a stronger, healthier, and more compassionate community while reminding those impacted by cancer that they are not alone. Thank you for your continued support, and we hope to see you on November 7th as we take steps toward awareness, healing, and hope because every story matters, and Every Color Matters. See You Soon!
