Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza Supports the CancerCare Walk/Run for Hope

CancerCare is delighted to announce that Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza is a sponsor of the Walk/Run for Hope in Greenwich, CT.  The Darien location will donate 50% of the total bill every Thursday in April, from dine-in and take-out orders. Pizza-lovers just have to mention CancerCare to their server!

CancerCare is calling walkers and runners of all levels and ages to participate in our Walk/Run for Hope on Sunday, May 5 at Greenwich Point.  This event brings together friends and families to walk or run in memory of those they have lost to cancer, honor survivors, and support those who are currently facing the disease.

The 5k course is USATF-certified and runs along Tod’s Point. The event is part of the Betteridge Greenwich Cup, which is presented by the Hospital for Special Surgery and hosted by Threads and Treads.
