The first 1,000 women through the gate will receive a commemorative Pitch for Pink identity safe wallet.
The event is a way to increase community awareness about the importance of early detection and to raise funds to help support the breast health services and programs at Morton Plant Mease Hospital.
More than $290,000 has been raised through Pitch for Pink in the past 12 years.
