A Serious Problem
Because breast cancer will strike one out of nine women in their lifetime, everyone knows someone with the disease. Advances in diagnostic techniques and therapies have given us great improvements in survival, but we are still at a loss as to what causes breast cancer, why it spreads, and why it recurs.

The Carol Franc Buck Breast Care Center Mission Statement
Money raised in this run will be donated to the Carol Franc Buck Breast Care Center at UCSF, whose mission is "to provide innovative, comprehensive breast care that addresses the needs of the whole person. To do this, we combine high-quality, patient centered care with rigorous scientific research."

Run to Raise Money
Each year, the Oakland A's and Macy's team up for this 5K Fun Run in order to raise money for breast cancer research and education. While the problem for which we all run is a serious one, we want you all to have fun while participating in the event! Dress up in a crazy costume, anything you like...and keep in mind that the best costume wins a prize! Run for our sisters, mothers and wives, and have fun while doing it!
