On Saturday, October 13, 2012 at the Sun City Anthem at Merrill Ranch Union Center in Florence, the Anthem at Merrill Ranch Community will host its fifth annual Del Webb Goes Pink Breast Cancer Walk/Run Event to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure. In 2011, five Arizona Del Webb Communities each hosted a Del Webb Goes Pink event, boasting 532 total walkers and $10,569 net donation to the Susan G. Komen foundation!

This year’s event starts with FREE breakfast and FREE Yoga at 8 am at the Union Center.

The walk begins at 9:30 am and there is a 3-mile route around the Poston Butte Golf Course located in the community. An alternate 1 mile route is also available. Festivities after the walk include the famous “Pink Duck Race” Raffle for amazing prizes donated by local businesses, including a flat screen TV!

There will be a short survivor recognition ceremony to honor and celebrate those who have fought and beat this terrible disease. A FREE lunch will be provided after the walk, sponsored by The Groundskeeper.
