Are you ready to ROC? Join us for the 20TH ANNUAL FAMILIES RUN FOR OVARIAN CANCER ROC STAR RUN/ WALK AT TOWER GROVE PARK! The ROC Star event was started in 2006 by the Jorgensen family as their wife, mother and Nana, Brenda, fought her own battle with ovarian cancer. Sadly, she lost that battle in 2011 but the event continues to honor her spirit and to raise funds for ovarian cancer research and ongoing awareness programs through St. Louis Ovarian Cancer Awareness.

Participants can register for a timed 5k run/ walk or a 1-mile fun run/ walk - or if you can't join us in person you can ROC from Home! All event registration includes a limited edition 20th anniversary shirt for all participants while supplies last. _Please note ROC from Home participants' event shirts will be mailed AFTER the in-person event and a shipping charge of $5 will be added to each registration._

The event is family and dog-friendly and will include a Survivor Ceremony, as well as the Honor and Memory Wall, Flu shots from our friends at Walgreens (ages 7+), music by TKO DJs, roaming selfie stations, visits from Fredbird and Louie, and of course the beloved Bubble Bus.

Food and treats will include Krispy Kreme donuts and bananas in the morning. Coffee and specialty drinks will be available for purchase from Travelin' Tom's Coffee Truck. After race start, Kona Ice will be providing complimentary sweet treats to participants, as well as complimentary hot dogs and chips from K's Unique Dogs while supplies last. Fallon's Bar & Grill will be providing beer for our 21+ ROC Stars.

Survivor Ceremony
To recognize and honor our ovarian cancer survivors in attendance during our ceremony we will call each survivor by name and as they come forward we will share a flower and applaud them. All registered survivors in attendance should make their way to the stage for the ceremony and remain afterwards for a group photo.

HONOR & MEMORY WALL
The event will host an "In Honor and Memory" wall where participants can attach a photo, write a message, or share an inspiring quote and more. SLOCA will provide the materials but feel free to bring photos. Please note, materials affixed to the memory wall cannot be returned.
