💗 OVER $65,000 RAISED! ONE COMMUNITY. ONE MISSION. ALL IN FOR A CURE!

Our 10th Annual Patrol Stroll was nothing short of incredible! From powerful survivor stories and show-stopping runway moments to a special performance by Florida A&M University Marching 100 percussion section, it was a night to remember!

But the biggest highlight? Together, we raised more than $65,000 in the fight against breast cancer! 🎗️

This milestone is a testament to what we can accomplish when our community comes together. Thank you to our sponsors, partners, participants and everyone who supported this incredible cause alongside the American Cancer Society.

Sheriff McNeil has already set the bar for next year: $100,000! And we're ready to get to work!
The runway may be closed, but our mission continues. 💕
