The Shawna Kilbert Project
2010 Annual Fundraiser
September 18th
Every year, more and more women become victims, warriors and survivors of cervical cancer. At just 34 years of age, Shawna Kilbert, a young and beautiful mother of two, lost her battle with cervical cancer. Before she passed, it became her mission to “pay it forward” by creating a source of information and financial support to help other local women who are suffering from cervical cancer.
With her vision and the support of many friends and family, the Shawna Kilbert Project was formed. This grass roots organization is run by local volunteers who redistribute 100 percent of the donations raised back in to our community to help other women like Shawna.
On Sept. 18, the Shawna Kilbert Project will be holding their annual fundraiser: a 5K run, a one mile walk, and a ¼ mile kid’s fun run/walk. The festivities for this celebration will begin at 6:30 a.m. with food, entertainment, live music, raffles, and a silent auction.
For more information on how to sign up for this year’s event, log on to theshawnakilbertproject.org or call the Sierra Running Company at (559) 433-6750.
