Since 2000, the Panhellenic Council of the University of Pennsylvania has sponsored the Rena Rowan Ribbon Run/Walk for breast cancer, as it is a disease that touches the lives of all Penn sorority women in some way, shape, or form. Over the 10+ years of support, the Panhellenic Council has donated over $55,000 to this worthy cause, and looks forward to giving even more!

The Rena Rowan Ribbon 5K Run/Walk benefits the Rena Rowan Breast Center at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania. The Rowan Center is a model of patient care excellence where all clinical services a woman facing breast cancer may need are located in one convenient location; including integrated cancer treatments, psychosocial counseling, cancer risk evaluation, and nutritional counseling. The medical needs of patients with breast cancer may exceed what is covered by traditional health plans. The funds raised at the Ribbon Run will help to ensure that patients receive the services that insurance does not cover and they cannot afford.
