Every day 117 people in the U.S. die of metastatic breast cancer (MBC), also known as Stage 4, where the breast cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Funding MBC research is the only way to find a cure!
Let's shine a light on the importance of critical funding for research of Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC), also known as Stage IV, where the cancer has spread beyond the breast to other parts of the body.
Join us on October 11th at North Boundary Park in Cranberry Township, PA for an unforgettable event the whole family will enjoy! Register HERE.
The festivities will feature a 1-mile color walk (no experience necessary) where you will start off the morning clean, and end smiling, laughing, and covered with the colors of the MBC ribbon! We will gather together for some enlightening conversation and a light stretch, then kick off the walk with a group color powder toss. Along the course volunteers will toss additional powder on walkers at three color stations.

WHAT IS #LightUpMBC ?
The #LightUpMBC campaign is a global initiative aimed at raising awareness and funds for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) research to benefit METAvivor. Held annually in October, the campaign partners with hundreds of iconic landmarks around the world to illuminate in the symbolic MBC awareness colors of green, teal, and pink. By uniting patients, families, and supporters, #LightUpMBC shines a spotlight on the urgent need for more research and resources to improve outcomes for MBC patients.
#LightUpMBC Live is a dynamic virtual event that serves as the centerpiece of the #LightUpMBC campaign, bringing together the metastatic breast cancer (MBC) community and its supporters for an evening of storytelling, inspiration, and impact. Hosted annually on October 13 on Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day, this live-streamed program features powerful stories from MBC patients and their families, musical performances, and appearances by special guests who amplify the mission of raising awareness and funds for MBC research. #LightUpMBC Live provides a platform for education and advocacy, highlighting the urgency of funding scientific breakthroughs for the most advanced stage of breast cancer.
