LET’S BEAT BREAST CANCER DRUM RALLY
Saturday, October 18 · 10 a.m.–12 p.m.
Presented by The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
The LOOP will turn pink in solidarity during the Let’s Beat Breast Cancer Drum Rally, hosted by registered dietitian and Food for Life instructor Katya Galbis and sponsored by the Physicians Committee. As part of a nationwide Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaign, the event unites the community through live drumming, survivor stories, and educational resources that focus on prevention through healthy lifestyle choices.
Drumlines from Dillard High School, Palm Beach Lakes High School, and Piper High School will bring rhythm and inspiration to the beach as participants unite to raise awareness and celebrate survivorship.
The rally is produced in collaboration with The Sound Check Foundation, a nonprofit supporting students and educators in underserved communities, through creative programming.
Adding to the spirit of unity, vendors and guests are encouraged to “Pink Out the Park” by wearing pink and decorating booths in support of survivors and their families. The event will also feature a book signing with three-time breast cancer survivor and author Jocelyn Binder for her inspiring memoir, “Sexy After Breast Cancer.”
