Tri-Sporst Mayfaire 5k On Saturday, October 2, Tri-Sports will host their second 5k to raise money
for the local Pink Ribbon project. Last year, they raised $7,000. This year, their sights are set
on $20,000. Prizes will be awarded for 1st-3rd place, with the largest prize being $1,000. “We
decided to do a 5k in Mayfaire to benefit a local cause, and we know a lot of people have
been touched by cancer in one way or another,” says Richard Fay, manager of Tri-Sports of
Wilmington.

Breakfast is at 7:30 a.m. and
costs $55, lunch is at 11:30

Last year, the event raised

hopes to surpass that amount
this year. The money will be
used to provide women with
education about early detection
as well as help pay for
underinsured and uninsured
women to receive mammograms.
“We’re really excited about the continued support of our sponsors and our
community’s support that helps us raise money and help these women,” says Kellogg.
