This uplifting gathering not only honors Brittany's legacy but also celebrates love, hope, and community spirit. With participants of all ages invited to walk or run, this event aims to raise funds to support local patients battling breast cancer.

Organiser's Description
3RD ANNUAL LETS MAKE PINK JUST A COLOR 5K & 1.5-MILE FUN RUN/WALK
IN LOVING MEMORY OF BRITTANY KELLEY (FOUNDER)
On Sunday, October 18th, we gather to walk, run, and rally , not just for a cause, but for the woman who made this cause matter.
Brittany Kelley, the founder of Lets Make Pink Just a Color, passed away on September 28, 2025, after a courageous fight with stage 3 triple-negative breast cancer. She was a mother, a fighter, a community builder, and the heart behind this movement. This year's race is dedicated fully to her memory, her mission, and the impact she made on hundreds of lives.
HER LEGACY LIVES ON
What began as Brittanys vision in 2023 grew faster than anyone could have imagined.
In year one, over 400 participants helped raise more than $38,000
In 2024, we surpassed $50,000, all of it staying right here to support local patients
Thanks to your support, weve been able to provide:
Chemo port access shirts
Surgical bras
Drain bulb shower and belt holders
And new in 2024: meals and weekend getaways to help families spend meaningful time together during treatment
BRITTANYS DREAM WAS SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL:
To make pink just a color again, not a symbol of pain or loss, but of love, hope, and healing.
THIS YEAR, WE RUN FOR HER
Join us as we walk and run in her honor. As we carry her message forward.
As we remind the world that pink doesnt define us, people do.
Every dollar raised continues to go straight back into our local community, just like she wanted.
Lets make this the most meaningful race yet.
Lets make pink just a color, for Brittany.
Please note: This race will not be officially timed.
