The CURE-Ageous 5K Fun Run raised $20,000 for The IBC Network Foundation, drawing 350 participants.
The second annual CURE-Ageous 5K Fun Run broke records this year, raising $20,000 for The IBC Network Foundation.
Approximately 350 runners, joggers and walkers cruised the streets of Cross Creek West Oct. 18, following a route through the community past the new model home park that featured homes decked in pink. Participants and their supporters enjoyed free coffee and pastries from Revive Coffee, $100 gift cards from SkinSpirit and H-E-B goodie bags filled with post-race treats. Racers and families could pose for photo ops, and children enjoyed face painting. A DJ kept the vibe upbeat and moving.
“We were thrilled to have leaped past last year’s $15,000 mark and help The IBC Network further its mission,” said Cross Creek West Marketing Director Lauren Smith. “It was a fun, inspirational morning.”
The IBC Network is dedicated to educating the public about Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) and funding research for this aggressive form of cancer. Not characterized by lumps, IBC is difficult to diagnose, and most people who receive a diagnosis are already in Stage 4.
“Events like the CURE-Ageous 5K are wonderful for not just raising money but also raising awareness,” said Terry Arnold, Founder of The IBC Network and an IBC survivor. “The more people who learn about IBC, the more people who might be diagnosed earlier.”
Sponsoring this year’s race were Hanis & Proft Orthodontics, Earthcare Management, Newmark Homes, Perry Homes, Burn Boot Camp, ABHR, Blue Sky Marketing, Ethoscapes and META Planning and Design. Fulshear High School students also volunteered during the event.
Smith said next year’s race is in the planning stages and will be held October 24, 2026.
