The DONNA Foundation announced a matching gift challenge supporting fundraising efforts for its annual Celebrate Every Mom campaign. Golf Fights Cancer, whose mission is to raise funds to make tangible improvements in the cancer-care experience for patients and their families, has pledged $20,000 to match donations during the Foundation’s annual spring campaign. The pinnacle event, the ICE DONNA Mother’s Day 5K, will be held on Saturday, May 11 in Jacksonville’s Riverside neighborhood. The event will start and finish at Friday Musicale, located at 645 Oak Street
Funds raised through the ICE DONNA Mother’s Day 5K and the Foundation’s Celebrate Every Mom Fundraising Campaign, which begins today, will support The DONNA Foundation’s mission to provide economic assistance and emotional support to individuals living with breast cancer and fund groundbreaking breast cancer research.
Approximately one in three patients served by The DONNA Foundation are mothers with children at home. By hosting this event on the Saturday of Mother’s Day weekend, Foundation leaders hope to inspire moms everywhere to take steps toward understanding, improving and protecting their breast health –– this and every year.
The Mother’s Day race will begin and end at Friday Musicale, starting at 8 a.m. Along the way, participants will experience the beauty of the Historic Riverside neighborhood, including the iconic architecture and gardens at the height of the spring blooming season. The DONNA Foundation also welcomes back ICE, formerly Black Knight, as the Title Sponsor of the 5K race.
During the 30 days leading up to Mother’s Day (April 11 through May 11), The DONNA Foundation will celebrate moms locally and across the nation through its Celebrate Every Mom campaign. Supporters can join in this effort by:
