Special to the Leader-Press
With the dedication to early detection and prevention of breast cancer, AdventHealth Central Texas is inviting anyone willing and able to participate in its annual SHINE The Light Breast Cancer Awareness Glow Walk on Thursday, Sept. 24 from 6:30–8:30 p.m. at the AdventHealth’s Women’s Center Parking Lot located at 2201 S. Clear Creek Rd. Killeen, at the back of the hospital.
Funds raised will go directly towards providing free or reduced-cost mammograms for those in need within the local community.
There will be opportunities to explore the wide range of services AdventHealth offers and gain valuable insights into breast cancer prevention and early detection.
Additionally, there will be uplifting survivor stories, energizing music, and light refreshments.
The event is used as a way to kick-off Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a lighting ceremony, illuminating the hospital in pink, which will stay lit throughout October.
The festivities will conclude with a fireworks display.
AdventHealth Central Texas Foundation is providing free mammogram screenings to qualifying, uninsured candidates during the month of October.
Registration is available, but those who are unable to attend in person this year but would still like to support, there is an option to make a donation to the foundation at Shine The Light 2026 – Campaign, https://give-ct.adventhealth.com/event/shine-the-light-2026/e808394.
