Let’s Beat Breast Cancer Rally – September 27th | 9:00–10:00 AM
Peoria, IL – Riverfront Market (Final Market of the Season)
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among women in the United States, following heart disease. Each year, approximately 42,000 women and 500 men in the U.S. lose their lives to this disease, according to the CDC.
Join us on Friday, September 27th from 9–10 AM as we beat the drum for awareness right here in Peoria! The Let’s Beat Breast Cancer Campaign is a global movement promoting a powerful, four-pronged approach to breast cancer prevention.
This one-hour rally is a vibrant call to action—filled with inspiring guest speakers, energizing drumlines, upbeat music, food samples, and community connection.
Let’s get loud, dance, and raise awareness together.
This event runs alongside the final Peoria Riverfront Market of the season—come for the cause, stay for the fun!
