Event Description

In 2005, 6ABC Sportscaster Gary Papa joined the board of the Foundation for Breat and Prostate Health and quickly devoted his talent and energy to generate prostate cancer awareness and research. While courageously and publicly fighting a six year battle with prostate cancer, Gary became the spokesperson for "Run 4 Your Life" and became the face of living with prostate cancer in the Philadelphia region.

 

Although Gary lost his battle with prostate cancer in June 2009, we continue to honor his memory by renaming the race after his so that his dedication to our cause will never be forgotten.

 

The Gary Papa Run is a 5K run/walk and a 1 mile fun walk to benefit prostate cancer research and awareness. Join us this Fathers Day, June 19th, to show your support! Registration is from 7AM - 8AM, and the 5K run starts at 8:30AM, followed by the 5K walk at 8:40AM and the 1 mile fun walk at 8:45.
