OUR COMMUNITY AGAINST CANCER 〰️
Walk of the Century: 5K Against Cancer is a powerful blend of competition, community, and cause, where participants run or walk to support those affected by cancer. Runners compete in a timed heat, with top performers recognized for their pace, while others join the walk to honor loved ones impacted by the disease. The event offers a family-friendly atmosphere with a kid zone featuring a bouncy house and “Mini-K” run, along with live music, pop-up vendors, and food trucks. This 5K goes beyond being a race, fostering a spirit of resilience and community, while raising vital funds for Camp Kesem to support children affected by parental cancer.
All proceeds go to the benefit of our philanthropy, Camp Kesem.
Where is it?
The 5K is set to take place at Lake Walk in Bryan, TX, a location that has truly stood out as a prime spot for community gatherings. Its stunning landscape, serene trails, and dynamic community atmosphere make it an exceptional setting for events of this nature. Conveniently located near beloved landmarks such as POV Coffee House and The Traditions Golf Club, Lake Walk enhances its charm as an ideal venue for supporting a great cause.
Who does the event benefit?
All of our proceeds are dedicated to supporting Kesem at Texas A&M University, a cause close to our hearts. Century Men's Society has been contributing significantly for years by serving as Camp Counselors and organizing fundraising events, ensuring the chapter can welcome children aged 6-18 to camp at no cost every summer. These camps provide a much-needed oasis for kids to escape the stress of a family member's cancer diagnosis, allowing them to enjoy summer with fun, friendship, and a return to normalcy. Our walk symbolizes our commitment to fighting cancer and supporting the families and children who face its challenges head-on.
