JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The 12th Annual Running of the Pink was held on Saturday, June 1st and raised $20,000 for the “No Excuses” program.

“[W]e couldn’t be happier to share the wealth of generosity from everyone who was involved,” RM Stoudt stated. “To our committee members, our staff, our volunteers, our sponsors and our registrants, thank you.”

The “No Excuses” program was rolled out to meet the demand for breast and cervical cancer screenings and help those who couldn’t afford them. The event teams up with the Jamestown Regional Medical Center, Central Valley Health and Women’s Way to remove barriers when it comes to getting screened.

The Running of the Pink has raised thousands of dollars that stay local.
