Simon Says Prostate Cancer 5.8K Sept. 10 at Ole River Bar

The Simon Says Run for Prostate Cancer 5.8K will be held on Sept. 10 at 7:30 a.m., with the start and finish at the Flora~Bama Ole River Bar, located at 17400 Perdido Key Dr. on the FL-AL state line.
Registration is now open at active.com. Cost is $25 per person for runners and walkers. Day of race registration is $30. Packet pick-up and late registration will be available at the Flora~Bama Ole River Bar on Friday, September 9 from 5-8 p.m. and on race day.
Entry fees include a race shirt and entry to the post-race party at the Flora~Bama Ole River Bar, which will include burgers and beer, music and awards presentations. One hundred percent of the event proceeds will be donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation.
This event is to raise awareness of prostate cancer, to protect the men from prostate cancer, and raise funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF).
“I am excited to say we were able to donate $7,000 last year to the PFC,’’ said race coordinator Jennifer Newman. “Our goal is to donate 100 percent of participant entry fees to the PCF.’’
The PCF is firmly committed to curing prostate cancer and has helped build a global research enterprise of nearly $10 billion, funding more than 2,000 programs at more than 200 research centers in 18 countries since inception in 1993.
Event sponsors are needed to cover the expenses such as participant and volunteer t-shirts, and registration and vendor costs. Individuals, organizations or groups can support the event in any one of five levels. For more sponsor info, contact Newman at 228-806-2299.
“Until there is a cure for prostate cancer, we need to help those fighting the disease, so let’s put our feet together and run/walk for a cure,’’ said Newman.
