let's Show Them Some Love

She Slays was created to celebrate the strength and resilience of women battling cancer. By participating, you become a beacon of hope, a symbol of solidarity, and a source of inspiration for those facing their toughest battles.

Proceeds from this event will support local women in Hendersonville, North Carolina, who are fighting cancer. We want to give these strong women the support and encouragement they need to keep pushing forward.

All participants who register by Sunday, March 30th at midnight will receive a free commemorative, She Slays race shirt. After the deadline, shirts will be available in limited sizes and quantities for $20. The first 500 participants to register will also receive a custom She Slays finisher keychain!

Honor a loved one

Honor your friend or loved one! Purchase a yard sign in memory of, or to honor someone who either lost their battle with cancer, or is currently in the midst of their battle. The sign will feature their name and your choice of either the color of the ribbon that represents their type of cancer, or a photo of them. It will be publicly displayed on the race course, along 'Memory Mile.'

If you're joining us for the race, you can select this option during your registration. If you don't plan to participate in the event, simply click HERE to purchase your sign in the iDaph Store. The deadline to purchase a sign is Thursday, April 10th at midnight. Proceeds benefit the Pardee Hospital Foundation.

If you purchased a sign last year and you'd like to have it displayed on the course again this year, please drop it off at the Pardee Hospital Foundation offices (561 Fleming St, Hendersonville, NC 28739) no later than 5pm, Wednesday, April 23rd.

After the race, signs will be available for pickup at the event, approximately 30 minutes to an hour after the finish, or may be picked up at the Pardee Hospital Foundation offices Monday after the race, from 9am - 5pm.

If you don't plan to join us for the race but would like to purchase a She Slays event shirt, those can be purchased HERE.

This event would not be possible without the generous support of Hunter Subaru and Pardee Hospital Foundation. We are grateful for their participation and admire the ways in which they continually support our community.

Our Community Partner

All signature iDaph events partner with local organizations to help advance their mission.

It ensures that resources are allocated where they can have the most direct and tangible impact, fostering a sense of ownership and empowerment among residents.

Women Helping Women (WHW) was founded 25 years ago to help low-and-moderate-income women receive critical medical care. Over the years, this program has become a hallmark of the Pardee Hospital Foundation and a significant force for good within our community.

Designed to provide supplementary support for women who require necessary medical treatment but cannot shoulder the costs, WHW steps forward to fill this financial gap in women’s moment of greatest need.

The WHW Fund supports:
Diagnostic mammograms
Lab tests, MRIs, CT scans, biopsies, ultrasounds, and endoscopies
Financial assistance for breast cancer and other medical procedures including surgery, anesthesia, x-rays, implants and devices, therapeutics, and infusions
