Why It Matters

Breast cancer continues to impact millions. As someone who’s watched family members on both sides fight this battle, I know how devastating that diagnosis can be. The Flamingo 5K gives us all a way to stand together, honor survivors, and help local families who need our support right now.

Last year’s event raised more than $2,000 for CSN. This year, Makona aims to top $3,000, and you can help make it happen.
