In 2007 nearly 300 participants ran and walked in support of breast cancer awareness and raising funds for research. 100% of the race registration fees benefit the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research at the James. Over $5,000 was raised at last year's event and our goal is top that!
Many thanks to our sponsors: The Ohio Union, Student Life, and CD 101.
Stefanie and her husband, former All-Pro NFL linebacker OSU standout, Chris Spielman, established the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research. They have raised more than $5 million for breast cancer research at the The James at The Ohio State University.
