WY Breast Cancer Initiative Casper Run 2022 Was A Massive Success

By all accounts, the Wyoming Breast Cancer Initiative 2022 Casper Pink Ribbon Run/Walk was a massive success.

This annual event is one of the biggest fundraisers for the Wyoming Breast Cancer Initiative (WBCI) and is currently held in three different cities, Riverton, Cheyenne, and Casper.

This weekend's event in Casper was the last of the three and was a record breaker for our area.

Last year's run attendance was 150, and this year it was double that amount, with 301 people from all over central Wyoming gathering up to support an amazing cause that is close to so many of our hearts.

Over $13,500 was raised, and ALL of the money will stay in Wyoming to help Wyoming families.

The event kicked off at 7:30 am with several speakers, including WBCI board president Mary Throne, Senator John Barrasso and his wife Bobbi, Governor Mark Gordon and his wife Jennie, survivor of the year Brenna Gatimu, and run chairperson Cathy Holman.

The race began at 8:00, and while the temperatures steadily rose, there were still smiles on all the participant's faces, especially as they ran across the finish line amidst cheers and loud party music playing.

Attendees and their families were encouraged to stay and enjoy each other's company, as well as games and an award ceremony at 9:30.
