The Columbian The Columbian is our Major Media Sponsor which is critical to the success of our inaugural event. If our community doesn't know about the Summer Solstice Six Mile Run/Walk and we don't hit our participation goals, then we can't reach our donation goals for the Breast Cancer Center. So a huge thank you to the Columbian for believing in our mission and supporting this event and our community. Visit their website here
