Mary Kay hosted its 20th annual MK5K, a fundraising running event benefitting the Mary Kay Ash Foundation and its mission to advance cancer research for women and end domestic violence. The route for the one-mile fun run as well as the 5K race was hosted in Addison, Texas.
Participants in the 5K and one-mile fun run enjoyed live music, photo opportunities, and booths from local community partners. The race’s finish line also included a unique “kiss analysis” activity. For those who could not attend in person, the Foundation also hosted virtual races, allowing online participants to contribute and engage with the race by running, walking, swimming or biking their way to a 5K while raising funds.
This event is part of a larger effort by the Mary Kay Ash Foundation, which was established in 1996 as part of Mary Kay Ash’s vision to create a healthier, safer world for women. Since its inception, the Foundation has contributed more than $96 million in grants, programs and support services.
