The Breast Cancer 3-Day – www.the3day.org
The Breast Cancer 3-Day is a remarkable 60-mile walk designed to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer. Each 3-Day walker commits to raising $2,200 or more for the cause. The event is 3 days long and like summer camp for adults! This year will be the 3rd year in Tampa Bay and last year raised over $4.6 million. Every year we have a HUGE team of volunteers and walkers for this event. Try it, you’ll fall in love!

The Race for the Cure is a 5k run/walk/kids run held the first Saturday in October. With over 11,000 participants think of how much money this event raises. 75% of proceeds stay here in our community.
Join our team!
BMW’s Drive for the Cure - http://www.bmwusa.com/bmwexperience/eventsandprograms/udsk/default
BMW and Komen for the Cure teamed up to raise money for breast cancer research by driving cars for money. Every mile driven is a dollar raised. With 18 cars that travel the US the miles add up quickly. How fun to drive someone else’s BMW to raise money for research!
Saturday Morning Market - www.SaturdayMorningMarket.com
This is where Viva Las Chicas does many awareness days. We have a booth at this open-air market, create awareness, pass out pink ribbons and promote our grassroots non-profit. The market is full of local vendors with fresh produce, local artists and non-profits raising money through the community. LOVE this market and it is a great addition to downtown St. Petersburg. Market is open from October to May, Saturday’s 9-2pm.
