Greetings, Devils Advocates! Like everyone else, we’re adapting our usual routine so that we can help flatten the curve, slow the spread, and protect the ones we love. Our PJ5K is changing its footprint in 2020. This year’s virtual pajama run/walk takes place over three days, adds a 10K and half marathon (why not?), and lets you choose the day, time and place to walk or run solo or with an appropriately protected and distanced group.
What hasn’t changed is that this event is one big pajama party raising money to benefit Maryland breast cancer families! Wear your PJs with pride when you walk or run knowing that every step you take, every dollar you raise, and every teammate you recruit makes an immediate impact on a family in crisis.
As soon as you register, you will have access to tools to help you invite friends and family to join your pajama party as teammate donors and/or participants. And did we mention prizes? Raise the most money? You get a prize. “Host” the largest pajama party (most team members/donors)? You get a prize. Does your PJ party represent the most states, territories, and countries? There’s a prize in your future, too.
Each year, nearly 200,000 people in America receive the life-altering diagnosis of breast cancer. In Maryland, more than 4,800 families cope with that reality annually. Founded in 2002, The Red Devils is a 501 (c) (3) organization (Tax ID# 74-3070929) based in Baltimore whose mission is to fund services that improve the quality of life for breast cancer patients and their families.
Who Are We and What Do We Do?
Since 2002, The Red Devils has invested $4 million to fund treatment support for nearly 8,000 breast cancer families so that loved ones are able to enter or remain in treatment. We have partnerships with 31 hospitals or other facilities throughout Maryland, and five hospitals in Washington, DC. Their medical staff and social workers refer patients to our business partners who provide a variety of treatment support services at no charge to the patients living or being treated in Maryland.
Each registered participant receives a finisher medal and Zorrel Primease short-sleeve t-shirt. If you register for multiple lengths, you’ll receive 3 medals, and one shirt. Should you win one of the fundraising or recruiting honors, you will receive one of these plaques.
Join an existing pajama party or PJ team or create your own party. Look for PJ Party resources on Facebook at Running with The Devils PJ Run/Walk. Post your training pictures, connect with others.
We are excited to bring you GPS tracking through Race Joy. This is an optional feature that you must choose to opt into at no additional cost. Participants get mileage updates and fun cheers using Race Joy. Spectators get to see where you are at all times and send you cheers.
Maryland and much of the country have Stay-at-Home orders in place. We ask you to stay informed and follow all COVID-19 and State restrictions, guidelines and laws. This event is not encouraging actual group gathering, rather, a virtual group experience. The Red Devils are not responsible for any participant violating any restriction, guideline or law. We wish all of you and your families good health during this time.
