The first annual High Country Walk/Run for Breast Cancer is the Kickoff event for the High Country Breast Cancer Foundation. It will be held Saturday, October 28, 2017 at 9:00 am in downtown Blowing Rock. The walk/run will be a 5K fun event, with turnoffs for a 1K, 2K, and 3K walk beginning at the American Legion Building.  Start and Finish at the American Legion Building.  The address of the American Legion is 333 Wallingford Rd, Blowing Rock, NC 28605.

The goal of the High Country Breast Cancer Foundation is to raise funds by organizing events such as the High Country Walk/Run for Breast Cancer. The money raised is awarded as scholarships to women and men fighting breast cancer in the High Country. The scholarships can be used for various activities in support of the survivor and his/her family—all in an effort to show the patient that the  community is fighting the fight with them.

All money raised remains ln the High Country to help individuals and families in our local community.
