Franklin’s 10th annual Franklin 4 The Cure’s “Run 4 The Cure” 5K race returns to the Westhaven community in West Franklin on Friday, September 16th from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Proceeds will benefit Middle Tennessee cancer research at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt.
New to this year’s 5K will be a “color” run / walk, which will wind along the beautifully landscaped and paved trails throughout the Westhaven community, then ending at the main entrance with a celebration party for all participants.
The weekend’s festivities will end on Saturday, September 17th, with “Concert 4 The Cure” featuring silent auction, VIP experience, and a performance by former American Idol contestant and Nashville recording artist Kellie Pickler.
Proceeds from the weekend’s events will once again benefit the Franklin 4 The Cure Discovery Grant supporting cancer research at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. Franklin 4 The Cure was born out of the efforts of the Stacey family, after their mother, Teresa Stacey, lost her 12-year long battle with the disease in 2001. To date, the Stacey family, the Westhaven Foundation, and Franklin 4 The Cure have helped raise more than $800,000 for cancer research right here in Middle Tennessee.
