The Haywood Regional Medical Center Foundation, in partnership with the Haywood County Health Department and MedWest-Haywood, announced the 2012 Power of Pink 5K and Memory Walk to be held Saturday, Oct. 27. The event will take place at the MedWest Health and Fitness Center.

Community sponsors, supporters, and volunteers come together each year to raise funds which help underserved women in Haywood County receive breast care. Since 2007, funds from the event have provided 741 mammograms and follow-up procedures for almost 500 women through the Haywood County Health Department. To support this cause, individuals and groups can register to participate in a 5K, which follows a new route on Jones Cove Road, or an Honor/Memory/Survivor walk on hospital grounds.
