AZ Breast Cancer 3-day Closing Ceremonies

November 13-15, 2009

The Arizona Breast Cancer 3-Day began with an emotional Opening Ceremony at Freestone Park in Gilbert. Some of the highlights along the route included the students from Gilbert Elementary and the cheering station at Living Faith Church. Southwest Ambulance was there to support us all along the way, decked out in pink. After a long day of walking, we gathered at Benedict Park, our home away from home for the weekend, and enjoyed entertainment by the McClintock High School String Quartet and ASU Dancing Devils.

On Saturday morning, we woke up early, ready to hit the trail again. Along the way, we were cheered on by friends, family and members of the community at 50th Street and Ray and Kyrene de las Lomas School. The skies opened up and we experienced a brief rainstorm, but it couldn't dampen our spirits! We enjoyed the support of Girl Scouts galore and Gatorade snow cones provided by Sun Devil Fire Equipment. That night, we were entertained by the Sun City Poms, Spirit of Phoenix Men's Chorus and Cannedy Performing Arts before we tucked in for the night.

Our final day of walking featured another visit from the bagpipe players, Cub Scouts, some great cheering stations on Mill Avenue and at Papago Plaza, and support from the AZ Women Lawyers Association. Our journey ended with a celebratory Closing Ceremony at Scottsdale Stadium.
