WHY WE GATHER FOR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS

One Community. One Cause. One Legacy.

The Legacy M.E.N. Breast Cancer Awareness Cookout is about more than bringing people together. It's an opportunity for students, families, campus organizations, and members of the Charlotte community to unite around an important cause.

While our original event was planned as a breast cancer awareness run, we've transitioned to a cookout to accommodate event logistics and member availability. Although the format has changed, our commitment to raising breast cancer awareness and supporting the fight against breast cancer remains the same.

Through this gathering, we hope to encourage conversations about women's health, increase awareness of breast cancer, and highlight the importance of continued advocacy and scientific research.
