SENATH, Mo. -- The Senath Women's Club will be hosting its annual Breast Cancer Awareness Walk for a Cure on October 10, in Williamson Park.

The event is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m., and the walk will begin and conclude at Williamson Park. During the course of the walk, participants will travel along a designated path in the South side streets of Senath, according to event organizer Pam Small.

Along with the walk, the event will also include door prizes, music, and giveaways. Small noted that the club has also sold pink ribbons which have been placed on light posts in the park with a name chosen by the purchasing individual.
