Our Goals

Inspire others through the life story of United States Air Force Major Candice Adams Ismirle and raise breast cancer awareness!

Candice’s Life & Inspiration


Candice Adams Ismirle had a courageous battle with breast cancer until she passed away in 2016. She was a graduate of Wilkes University and commissioned into the United States Air Force through AFROTC Detachment 752. Please read her life story to understand why we will be honoring her with the Kisses to Cancer 5K

All profits will go to…

1. The Valor Clinic to give back to homeless Veterans in the NEPA area

2. Wilkes University Gold Bar providing funds back to where Candice started her military route, Air Force ROTC Detachment 752

3. Relay for Life and the fight against cancer (specifically the “PinkKisses” fund in Candice’s name)

Proceeds will not only help to spread the incredible story of a true fighter but will go to organizations that she would have wanted to support!

Thank You To Our Gracious Sponsors!
