Paint Chaffee Pink 2026: A Walk for Hope, Healing, and Community

Each October, our community comes together for a powerful reason—to stand united in the fight against breast cancer. The Paint Chaffee Pink Walk is more than just a morning of movement; it’s a tribute to strength, a celebration of survivorship, and a promise that no one faces cancer alone.

Held at the beautiful Celebration Garden and Wellness Park in Barling, this annual walk brings together survivors, families, caregivers, and advocates from across the region. It is a day filled with love, remembrance, and support—a visual reminder of the resilience found in every person affected by breast cancer.

The walk also plays a vital role in helping provide life-changing support services through the Donald W. Reynolds Cancer Support House. Proceeds help fund free programs like educational resources, prevention screenings, emotional support, and patient navigation—offered to anyone facing a cancer diagnosis in our area.

Paint Chaffee Pink is a chance to raise awareness, to honor those we’ve lost, to uplift those still in the fight, and to celebrate those who’ve come through it with hope. Whether walking in memory, in support, or in survivorship, every step taken echoes with compassion and purpose.

On October 17, 2026, we invite you to walk with us—to show your support, to share your story, and to help us continue painting our community pink with hope.

    The Because We Care 5K Run & Walk is more than a race—it’s a mission in motion. Hosted by We Care Foundation, this event brings our community together to support children fighting cancer and the families walking that journey alongside them.

    Every step taken directly fuels real, immediate assistance for local pediatric cancer families. Registration proceeds help provide monthly gas cards for treatment travel, nutritional support, We Care Kits, emergency assistance, and critical family resources—because when a child is in treatment, financial stress should never be part of the diagnosis.

    This is a family-friendly, all-ages event welcoming runners, walkers, teams, strollers, and first-timers. Whether you’re racing the clock or walking with purpose, your presence matters.

    What participants can expect:

    Professionally timed 5K run & walk

    Participation medals for all registered participants

    Placement trophies for top finishers in each age group

    Overall Awards: Awards will be awarded to the Top 3 overall finishers. Overall awards are separate from age group awards.

    Exclusive trucker hat for all participants who register by March 20th

    Post-race drinks and snacks for all participants

    A strong show of gold in honor of childhood cancer awareness

    At We Care Foundation, our mission is simple and non-negotiable: show up when families need it most. This race is how compassion turns into action—and how impact multiplies.

    Lace up. Show up. Run with purpose.

    Because We Care—and because they matter.
