Join Team USC Norris at the 17th Annual Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) Revlon Run/Walk For Women on Saturday, May 8, to help fight women's cancers.

All registered USC Norris team members will receive team T-shirts for the walk.

The USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center has been selected as one of this years beneficiaries.

The celebrity opening ceremony begins at 8 a.m. at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum at Exposition Park.

The 5K course takes participants through the streets surrounding the USC University Park campus and finishes inside the Coliseum.

The USC Norris Cancer Hospital will host a booth at the events Health Expo to promote the USC Norris Harold E. and Henrietta C. Lee Breast Center. The expo will feature health screenings, giveaways and more.

One in three women is predicted to develop cancer in her lifetime. Cancer survivors are invited to pick up a special cap from the Survivor Booth at the Health Expo.

Tribute signs, to be worn in memory or support of loved ones, can be picked up on the day of the event, and survivors may wear tribute signs proclaiming their number of years as a survivor.

Created in 1993, the EIF Revlon Run/Walk For Women has grown to become one of the nations largest 5K fundraising events. To date, the Run/Walks in Los Angeles and New York have distributed nearly $60 million for cancer research, treatment, counseling and outreach programs.

The cost to run or walk is $30 through April 25 ($35 thereafter). To make a donation or join the USC team, visit http://tinyurl.com/USCNorrisTeam. For information, contact Tonya Strom, USC Norris Team Captain, (323) 865-0668 or tstrom@usc.edu.
