DEL MAR VILLAGE ASSOCIATION INVITES THE COMMUNITY TO PAINT THE TOWN PINK TO CHEER ON SUSAN G. KOMEN 3-DAY® WALKERS

FRIDAY, NOV 17

DEL MAR, Calif. – The Del Mar Village Association (DMVA) is rallying a crowd of well-wishers to cheer on more than 2,000 anticipated walkers that will pass through the heart of Del Mar Village on Friday, Nov. 17 from 8 to 9:30  a.m. as the San Diego Susan G. Komen 3-Day® kicks off.

Since 2010, Del Mar has hosted an official Public Cheering Station for the San Diego Susan G. Komen 3-Day®. There has been an annual outpouring of support from the community that welcomes the walkers with pink decor, signs, upbeat music, big smiles, and encouragement. Cheerleaders from Torrey Pines High School, the Del Mar Lifeguards, firefighters from the Del Mar Fire Department, local business owners, and community residents line the streets to cheer the event participants on their journey as they travel more than 60 miles south to San Diego to raise funds and awareness in the fight to end breast cancer. Several residents have faithfully attended the event for over a decade, consistently expressing appreciation for this annual tradition.

Anyone interested in participating in this fun and inspirational morning should dress in pink and come to Del Mar Village just south of 15th Street on Camino Del Mar (Highway 101) between 8 and 9:30 a.m.

DMVA, along with the Del Mar Plaza, the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, L’Auberge Del Mar, Stratford Square, C4 Energy, Monarch Ocean View Pub, Viewpoint Brewing Company, Tamarindo Del Mar, and Starbucks Del Mar, annually sponsor the cheering station.
