Paint the Porch Pink Breast Cancer Walk is a family and pet friendly 5K stroll through the picturesque waterfront town of Riverton, New Jersey. The Walk features seven beautifully decorated porches where walkers may stop to enjoy live music and pink refreshments.
Over an estimated 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. Chances are that you or a loved one knows someone that has been affected by this disease, either directly or indirectly. As a women’s group, The Porch Club is committed to doing our part to make a difference by hosting this event to raise funds for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, a leader in funding research to battle breast cancer. The Foundation is committed to maintaining the highest degree of fundraising efficiently. Currently, 91 cents of every dollar spent by BCRF is directed towards breast cancer research and awareness programs, including funding to local research facilities here in the Philadelphia region.
