The Pink Hat Run was conceived as an idea to bring together the momentum and energy of the current women’s movement to help organizations that provide services and support to women and the causes most important to them.
Pink Hat Run is meant to be a fun 5K or 1 mile run, walk or roll that celebrates the community we are building as “pink hatters”.
Women are natural connectors. We engage with each other heart-to-heart. When we get in a room together and dream together, we can create a world of opportunities for all. We see the difference we are all making in our communities and we want to celebrate that together with our sisters in pink hats as we support organizations that support and serve the causes that are important to us.
