If you're reading this, you probably already know about the Pink Bra Run 2024, but in case you're just finding out, or if you're looking to get involved, here's everything you need to know about the annual fundraising event supporting the Tulane Cancer Center's efforts in finding a cure for breast cancer.
What is the Pink Bra Run 2024?
The Pink Bra Run 2024 is an annual fundraiser held in New Orleans, Louisiana. Participants in the event dress up in decorated bras and either run or walk a 5K along the Mississippi River levee, or take part in a leisurely 8-mile bike ride through the city's scenic streets. All proceeds from the event go directly to the Tulane Cancer Center's breast cancer research program.
When and Where does it Take Place?
The event will take place on October 15, 2024, starting at 8:00 AM at the historic Algiers ferry landing, located near the beautiful New Orleans skyline. Choose to either participate in the run/walk or join the bike ride, both starting at 8:00 AM sharp.
How much does it Cost?
The cost to participate varies depending on the type of event. Regular online registration is open until October 1, 2024, with prices starting at $25 for adults, $15 for youth, andFamily tickets available for $50. Participation fees increase to $40 for adults and$30 for youth on race day, making the total cost $45 and $30 respectively. Bike registration is an additional $35 per person, and teams of 3 or more may receive a discounted rate.
What Happens During the Event?
Once you've checked in with your registration, you'll be free to enjoy the sights of New Orleans as you wait for the race to start. The route for both the run and walk is incredibly scenic, taking you through the French Quarter and down to the historic Mississippi River levee. At the end of the run/walk, you'll celebrate with a traditional red beans & rice dinner, live music, and a ceremony honoring the winners.
For bike riders, the ride will follow a leisurely route through Federal City and Algiers Point before ending at the rivershack in Old Gretna. A post-race party, which includes music, dancing, and more, will be held at the arch to celebrate the success of the event and congratulate the participants.
What Does It Support?
Since its inception in 2012, the Pink Bra Run has raised over $3 million for breast cancer research and treatment. Your participation helps support the continued efforts to find a cure for this preventable disease, benefiting not only those affected by breast cancer but also their families and friends.
What's the Cause for Concern?
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women, and the rates continue to rise. By supporting organizations like the Tulane Cancer Center, you're helping to fund groundbreaking research that could lead to earlier detection, more effective treatments, and ultimately, preventing the spread of this potentially deadly disease.
Dress Up for a Cause
One of the most charming aspects of the Pink Bra Run is the requirement to wear a decorated bra, which is not only a fun way to get into the spirit of the event but also a visible demonstration of your support for the cause.
