Komen Race for the Cure
Plan to celebrate Mother's Day morning with your family members and Team PABJ as we participate in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. The Komen walk/run takes place the morning of Mother's Day, May 9 at 8:15 a.m. PABJ has participated in the walk for a handful of years now. We'll be walking in honor of NABJ Founder Sandra Long, a breast cancer survivor.
If you can't make the walk itself, you're welcome to make a donation. Team PABJ has a goal of $2,000. Help us meet it by participating or donating. The race entry fees are: $36.75 for adults (13 and over) and $16.75 for children (12 and under).

If you are not able to participate in the walk/run, you can donate to the cause, helping Team PABJ meet its goal. To donate, visit here
