A crowd turned Amelia Earhart pink on Saturday, Oct. 19. Thousands of people gathered in Hialeah for the Susan G. Komen More Than Pink Walk.
The annual event raises money for breast cancer patients and life-saving research.
“Supporting individuals in our community who are facing breast cancer is essential to our mission, but we cannot do it alone,” said Sean Gross, executive director of the Susan G. Komen organization. “These walks are not just events — they are pivotal moments to secure vital funds that will make equitable care available to all as we take a powerful stand against this devastating disease.”
Take a look at Saturday’s event.
