YOUNGSTOWN - The community laced up their tennis shoes Sunday morning for the 16th annual Panerathon in Youngstown to support the Joanie Abdu Comprehensive Breast Care Center (JACBCC).

Participants were given the opportunity to choose a 10k run or a two-mile run/walk.

Since its beginning, the Panerathon has raised over 5 million dollars that went back into the community, primarily to support people diagnosed with breast cancer.

"Since we opened in November of 2011, we have screened over 160,000 breast imaging exams. The van started in 2016, and it has performed over 15,000 screenings and we have diagnosed over 2,200 cancers," says Juli Dulay, the manager of the JACBCC, when asked about how the resources gained from the Panerathon and other forms of donation have helped the community.
