SEVENTH ANNUAL REVLON RUN/WALK

By ALBERT L. ORTEGA
May 25, 2000

MAY 13, 2000, MEMORIAL COLISEUM, LOS ANGELES, Calif.

The Revlon Run/Walk, co-sponsored by Revlon and The Entertainment Industry Foundation, benefits charities fighting ovarian and breast cancer. The event, which takes place annually the day before Mother's Day, is one of the nation's largest 5K races. More than 60,000 participants hit the streets near the USC campus for this year's Run/Walk, which wound up inside the historic Los Angeles Coliseum. Prior to the race, participants got the chance to scour and scrounge the grounds in search of free give-aways provided by sponsors like Sav-On drugs, Dreyer's, Ralph's, Robinsons-May, Babystyle.com, ABC channel 7, Rare, Toyota and United Airlines.

Celebrities involved in the worthy cause were Revlon spokespersons Cindy Crawford, Salma Hayek and Melanie Griffith, along with speaker Dustin Hoffman, Whoopi Goldberg, Christina Applegate, Johnathon Schaech, Tracy Ullman, Kelly Hu, Jeri Ryan, Sean Young, Heather Donahue, Dean Haglund, Aaliyah and breast cancer survivor Wendie Jo Sperber. Antonio Sabato Jr. drove the pace car. The Pointer Sisters gave a concert after the event.
