Hello CITY ON THE MOVE!

I am excited to announce that this fall, in partnership with the City of North Little Rock Wellness Program and ARORA, we will host our FIRST Unity Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Walk/Run. This event will bring together two cities for one cause: raising awareness for breast cancer and supporting breast cancer survivors. There will be 2 options to choose from when registering: one is a timed 5k race and the other is an untimed 5k race.

This inclusive event warmly welcomes all members of the community. Before the race, participants are invited to savor a complimentary brunch, engage in various activities at the kids' corner featuring a rock climbing wall and face painting, enjoy musical performances, and join in with special guest hosts live from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
