“Breast cancer is a horrible disease that has found a way to somehow affect everyone in one way or another,” states Marketing Director Ken Churilla. “Our goal on October 8 is to gather a large number of breast cancer fighters, survivors, and the ones that love them at Balmoral Park to not only enjoy time with each other but take advantage of a fresh new way to raise money to make headway against this deadly disease.”
