It’s Time for Pink Week — A Virtual Festival of Fun!
Pink Week kicks off with pre-week festivities beginning at the MORE THAN PINK Drive-Through Expo on Friday, September 25 at Six Flags Great Adventure, and concludes with “Chalk Your Walk” on Saturday, October 3 — the day before the Virtual Walk!
Follow along on Komen New Jersey social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) each day as we commemorate and honor all those who have gone above and beyond in their 2020 Komen New Jersey Virtual MORE THAN PINK Walk fundraising efforts — all benefiting breast cancer survivors and those living with the metastatic disease in New Jersey and nationwide.
