Join Links for Life to kick off Paint the Town Pink! and Breast Cancer Awareness Month at our Lace'n It Up 5K Run & 1k Celebration Walk on Saturday, October 4, 2025 at the Park at River Walk. This year's event is set to be our biggest yet - featuring special survivor recognition, local vendors, food & drink, music, raffle prizes, and more! Links for Life raises breast cancer awareness and celebrates local survivors with this fun community event. All net proceeds raised are donated and invested directly into our programs and services. This includes funding diagnostic services such as mammograms, providing wigs and head coverings, and offering nutrition education alongside monthly grocery cards. Links also provides education throughout Kern County on breast health, free support resources and screenings, and the services and resources available to survivors as they navigate their cancer journey.Pick your distance
