2019 Blue Ribbon Run Results
The Blue Ribbon Run is an annual event that raises money and awareness for a cure for colorectal cancer, as well as helping families locally affected by this disease.
The Blue Ribbon Run is unique in its afternoon start time with a reception following at Dockside. Transportation is provided to and from the race site. The band Lunar Tide creates an atmosphere for celebration of life and hope to find a cure.
The t-shirt designs are a local favorite and blue hydrangeas are sold with all profits benefiting the goal of saving lives.
About the Cause
The Blue Ribbon Run is a nonprofit for the Julie M. Brown and Christina Gianoplus Colon Cancer Foundation, which has an endowment established at UNC Lineberger. Partnering with Wilmington Gastroenterology, our goal is to raise awareness for early detection and prevention of colon cancer.
