The Ellen Shaw de Paredes Foundation, an organization that aims to save lives through early detection and education about breast cancer, is hosting a fun family event this Saturday.
The Festival Day and Lakeside Adventure Walk will take place Saturday, May 31st from 11:00 AM until 2:00 PM at the non-profit’s offices at 4480 Cox Road in the Innsbrook Corporate Center.
The focal point of the event will be a butterfly release. You can purchase a butterfly in honor or memory of a loved one, to be released behind the foundation offices, near the Innsbrook lake.
Proceeds from the Festival Day and Lakeside Adventure Walk will help the organization provide mammograms to underserved women in the Richmond area.
Many other local non-profits are participating in the event along with the Paredes Foundation, including The Children’s Museum of Richmond, Our Laughter in the Rain, Komen for the Cure of Central Virginia, Sophie House, Sisters Network-Richmond, and Goochland Free Clinic and Family Services.
