Thank You Sponsors!

The ability to offer our 5k participants a donation option at registration is due to the generosity of our sponsors.

Sponsor dollars offset the cost of race expenses: t-shirts, food, water, tents, permits, printing, rentals, timing and much more, allowing your donation to go directly to research, awareness and survivorship programs.

"This Run's For Jack" 
Supports Survivorship Programs
 
Jack's Fund is participating in the development and implementation of the survivorship initiative and plans to provide key programs for melanoma patients and their families.

"remember to live; dare to be happy"
Stacie Alexander Fallon  

On October 14, 2012, a Trinity Pear tree will be dedicated to Founding Board Member, Stacie Alexander Fallon.  
 
Stacie was instrumental in creating both the Jack H. Marston II Healing Garden and the Family Tent at the annual "This Run's For Jack," both places of healing and hope for those impacted by melanoma. Stacie's efforts have enabled thousands of melanoma and other cancer patients to find a place to gather, a place to fight back and a place to heal.  Stacie lost her battle with breast cancer in May.   Her tree will be the one wrapped with a pink ribbon, planted next to Jack's Oak.
