Pink Wave 5K-benefitting First Friday Mammogram Program

On Saturday, September 19th at Michael J Ellis Beach & Seawall (14926 Winward Drive, Corpus Christi, Texas), the community will come together for the inaugural 5K Fun Run. This special race is designed to support the First Friday Mammogram Program, a local nonprofit that provides free mammograms to women without insurance coverage.
The event offers an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere where both experienced runners and casual participants can join in on the fun. Whether you're looking to enjoy a morning run along the picturesque shoreline or simply want to spend quality time with family and friends, this 5K is tailored for all ages and fitness levels.
Packet pickup will be available at the Michael J Ellis Beach & Seawall location on Friday, September 18th from 9:00am to 3:00pm. For those who prefer last-minute preparation, race day packet pick-up will also take place from 6:30am until 7:30am.
The run itself starts promptly at 7:30am and promises scenic views of the Corpus Christi coastline as participants traverse along the seawall. The event aims to raise awareness about breast cancer screening while generating funds for vital health services that are often out of reach due to financial constraints or lack of insurance coverage.
By participating in this year's run, you'll be contributing directly to a cause that supports early detection and improved women’s healthcare within your community. Your support helps ensure that no woman is denied access to critical preventive care simply because she cannot afford it.
