“Through events like our Breast Cancer 5K Color Run, we unite to honor survivors, remember those we've lost, and stand united in the fight for a cure. The Council and I are committed to raising awareness and supporting those impacted by this disease," stated Mayor Vince R. Williams. The Pinktober Breast Cancer Awareness 5K has been a beacon of hope in our community for the past eleven years. It is a testament to the strength and unity of Union City as we Reclaim, Renew, and Reimagine community connection.
