Pink-a-Boo Walk of Hope: Join the Community & Make an Impact Join the Cancer Support Center for the Pink-a-Boo Walk of Hope on Sunday, October 18, 2026, at Irwin Park in Homewood. Featuring a 5K, 1-Mile Walk and 10-Step Survivor Walk, Pink-a-Boo brings our community together to celebrate survivors, honor loved ones and raise critical funds to support those impacted by cancer. Local businesses can make an impact, too! Sponsorship opportunities start at just $150. At the Cancer Support Center, we like to say a little bit goes a long way. A $50 donation can cover the cost of a wig for someone experiencing hair loss from treatment. A $1,000 sponsorship gives your organization the opportunity to join us at Pink-a-Boo with an event table. - And that same $1,000 represents the approximate cost of providing one participant with CSC’s programs and services for an entire year. All at no cost to them. October may put a spotlight on breast cancer, but the Cancer Support Center is here every month of the year for anyone impacted by any type of cancer, at any stage of their journey. From diagnosis through treatment, survivorship, caregiving, bereavement and beyond, our community is here to help people navigate the cancer journey. Become a sponsor. Join our community. Help us make sure no one should face cancer alone. Click to Learn More: https://tinyurl.com/4c79nuc7
