The Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA) is excited to announce the 2024 Greater North Texas Team Hope 5K to be held on November 9th at Rose Rudman Park. Team Hope events represent the largest local opportunity for members of the HD community to come together with friends, family members, neighbors and the community at large to raise necessary awareness and funds to support HDSA. Huntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It deteriorates a person’s physical and mental abilities during their prime working years and has no cure. Since their inception, Team Hope Walks have raised more than $14 million and involved tens of thousands of participants from local communities across America. Proceeds from Team Hope support the mission and programs of HDSA, the premier nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of everyone affected by Huntington’s disease. From community services and education to advocacy and research, HDSA is the world’s leader in providing help for today and hope for tomorrow for people with Huntington’s disease and their families. In the battle against Huntington’s disease no one fights alone. At HDSA, family is everything.

Our mission is to create awareness of the dire need for foster families in Cherokee County. Proceeds from the race will benefit Fostering Bridges.

Paint Palestine Pink was founded in August 2010 as a non-profit organization that was initially dedicated to providing diagnostics to help in the fight against breast cancer. We have since been able to expand our services to provide grants for diagnostics and treatment in the fight against ALL cancers.

Our foundation has been providing funding for diagnostic tests since 2010. All funds stay local and we provide services to the men and women of Anderson and surrounding counties. We contract with local facilities and physicians as much as possible but will look outside of the county to help our residents. We have no CEO's or executives drawing salaries. This organization is completely funded by donations and run by a board of directors and community volunteers.
