The Kosten Foundation’s Kick It 5K, presented by Baptist Memorial Health Care, is an in-person run or walk with all proceeds going towards funding pancreatic cancer research. The 14th annual race is also welcoming virtual runners so supporters can participate no matter where they are. Over the years, the race has grown to include more than 2,500 participants with last year’s race raising more than $150,000.


In just 20 years, the Kosten Foundation has raised and donated more than $2.4 million to pancreatic cancer research programs. The Foundation hosts a free monthly virtual support group meeting for pancreatic cancer patients, survivors, and anyone else affected by the disease. Those interested in learning more about the Kosten Foundation’s mission, or in sponsoring the Kick It 5K can find more information on their website at kostenfoundation.com.
