SHOC Walk & Run for Ovarian Cancer

The Best Event of the Year is whatever you want it to be, wherever you want it to be, and with whomever you want it to be with—even if that’s just you! Whatever your sport, hobby, pastime, or pleasure—this event is about getting out there and doing it. Whether that’s hitting the trail for a hike, enjoying a meal on a patio, getting dirty in the garden, beautifying the neighborhood with a litter pick-up, having a movie night, reading a book, treasure hunting at garage sales, baking a loaf of bread, getting a massage—if it makes you happy, go out and do it. That’s what it’s all about, and that’s why it’s The Best Event of the Year!

This is an event with infinite opportunities to honor, remember, and support the people in our lives who have been afflicted by ovarian and other gynecologic cancers. 

Online registration ends July 31, 2022. The event will kick off on September 1st and run through the duration of September in commemoration of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Registered participants will receive a commemorative event t-shirt by mail prior to September 1st to wear during your event. 

Remember to take pictures and post them to social media (#SHOCBestEvent  @SHOCFoundation) and email them to [email protected] so we can post them on the SHOC website.

More About The Best Event of The Year

Over the last 17 years, the SHOC Foundation has hosted many Walk & Runs, Golf Tournaments, Auctions, Luncheons, and more. The steady and generous participation all these years from our donors and advocates—that’s you—has been integral.  

As the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted our lives in 2020 and 2021—both short and long term—it’s given us all a lot to think about. How we spend our days. Who we spend them with. Where we want to live. What’s important and what’s not. It’s forced us to rethink what we want, what we need, and how we’re going to get there. 

It’s this very introspection that brings us here today with much excitement and optimism—the SHOC Foundation presents a new event for a new era...The Best Event of the Year! 

While this event reinforces our mission to raise funds for ovarian cancer research, increase public awareness, and bring support to the gynecologic cancer community, it also opens the door to inclusivity. Regardless of location, personal interest, or physical ability—this event is designed for you to honor or remember the person in your life who inspired your participation with the SHOC Foundation in the first place.
