    The Foltz family conducts the Sundae Stroll 5k in honor of Cheryl Foltz, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2012. The walk raises money for pancreatic cancer research.

  • On June 23, join in the fight against pancreatic cancer at the 6th annual Sundae Stroll, a 5k walk/run hosted by the Sundae Station, 1240 W. Wooster St., Bowling Green. It is held in memory of Cheryl Foltz, who passed away in 2012 and whose family owns the ice cream shop.

    Registration begins at 8 a.m., with the stroll starting at 9:10 a.m. Each participant will receive a cotton T-shirt, fruit and other healthy snacks, water, and a special Life-Saving Sundae topped with Passionately Purple sprinkles, the color for pancreatic cancer awareness.

    The cost to participate is ​$30 per adult walker/runner and $15 for those 12 and under. All proceeds will be given to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. Sponsorships are available, and donations for participant gift bags are needed.
