The walk altogether raised $635,341 which is over their initial goal of $595,000. The money helps with lifesaving breast cancer research and programs that try to assure that everyone can get the proper treatment they need.
President of Girls in White Coats Vaylin Jensen said, “We really wanted to get our club members involved in such a great cause, getting to see the joy and support it provides to survivors and their families is just so rewarding!”
