Eight years before Kelly invented what we now know as Bear Naked Granola, the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer and Swedish Medical Center came up with the idea of SummeRun as a way to raise awareness and funding for ovarian cancer research while celebrating all the women who have battled this disease. In its sixteenth year since inception, SummeRun 2010 had nearly 3,500 participants and raised $3 million for this cause.
Bear Naked was there at the start and finish of the 5k and 10k routes to fuel/refuel these passionate participants with fresh parfaits, Grain-ola bars, and smiles. Cheers to all those who participated or donated to make this such an inspiring event.
