Event Sponsors

We would like to cordially invite you and your company to become an integral part of the fifteenth annual “Pink Up The Pace” 5k walk/run on October 7th, 2023 in St. Augustine Beach.  This event will kick off October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Pink Up The Pace (PUTP) is a non-profit organization founded by Cindy Ortiz Chaconas in 2009.  Cindy, a physical therapist, mother and avid fitness person, was diagnosed at age 28 with breast cancer and is now a 13-year breast cancer survivor.

All monies raised stay in St. Johns County and go directly towards our mission of assisting the uninsured and underinsured in the early detection of breast cancer. Our board is comprised of local volunteers and breast cancer survivors.

Thankfully our success has allowed us to expand our services to now cover breast biopsies.  We are looking for all the community support we can find; so far we have not been disappointed.  Information about sponsorship options is listed below.  We would love to have you join us in our efforts towards another successful race!
