Organiser's Description

JOIN THE MOVEMENT TO SAVE LIVES:

MIMOSAS FOR MARROW 5K



_A RACE TO CURE, A TOAST TO HOPE_

Join us for the 3rd annual Mimosas for Marrow 5K run/walk, a heartfelt event to support families affected by blood cancers and disorders, and honor the resilience of those seeking a lifesaving bone marrow transplant.



INSPIRED BY OAKLEY'S JOURNEY

Local moms, Sam and Brittany, driven by love and gratitude, founded this event after Sam's daughter, Oakley, received a lifesaving bone marrow transplant in 2022. Oakley's story fuels our mission to raise awareness and funds for NMDP (formally known as Be The Match) - the worlds largest and most diverse marrow donor registry.



THE URGENCY

Every 3-4 minutes, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with a blood cancer or disorder. Time is crucial. A matching donor can be the only cure.



YOUR IMPACT

Over the past two years, the Mimosas for Marrow 5K has built a remarkable community, with over 1,500 registered participants, supportive small businesses, and numerous volunteers coming together to raise nearly $45,000. Our collective efforts have also led to the addition of 43 potential bone marrow donors to the registry, including two who have gone on to save lives.
