Peace Baptist Church is proud to announce its first ever Shades of Pink 5K Run/Walk to raise awareness of breast cancer and

 

domestic violence.

 

The Shades of Pink 5K Run/Walk was established in honor of Peace’s first lady, Tabitha Barnette. In 1999, Tabitha was diagnosed

 

with stage 3B breast cancer at the age of 33. As a 17-year survivor, she vows to support women who have been diagnosed with

 

breast cancer as well as their loved ones.

 

Tabitha is also passionate about supporting women who are victims of domestic violence. She believes many organizations support

 

breast cancer; however, there are many women who are suffering secretly from domestic violence. Tabitha feels it is important for

 

women to wear their story, whether it is “pink” for breast cancer or “purple” for domestic violence, thus coining the phrase

 

“Shades of Pink”.

 

The Shades of Pink 5K Run/Walk will take place on Saturday, October 8, 2016 at Stone Mountain Park. Proceeds from this walk will

 

be used to support current breast cancer patients and domestic violence victims through various charitable organizations.

 

To fund the walk, we need the financial support of people like you. Please help us further our efforts with a tax deductible

 

monetary contribution or in-kind donation. You can donate either online at shadesofpinkwalk.org or by returning the enclosed

 

form with a check made payable to “Peace Baptist Church.”

 

We have also enclosed information about this year’s run/walk. We hope you will join us on October 8 to raise awareness for these

 

important causes.
