Fifth-Generation, Family-Owned Company Supports Neuroendocrine Tumor Cancer Research While Showcasing Its Expertise in Custom Challenge Coins and Race Medals
MOUNT VERNON, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 13, 2026 / LogoTags company, the leader in custom challenge coins, Custom EXPRESS Challenge Coins and race medals, and the promotional products division of fifth-generation, family-owned Ball Chain Manufacturing Co., Inc., is proud to support the 15th annual Run for the Stripes 5K and 1 Mile Family Fun Walk, taking place Saturday, November 7, 2026, at the Philadelphia Zoo.
As part of its annual support for this important event, LogoTags produces discounted custom race medals for race participants, combining the company's expertise in custom metal products with its commitment to supporting worthwhile organizations and causes.
Founded in 2012, Run for the Stripes is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to building a supportive community, increasing awareness and raising funds for research benefiting those affected by Neuroendocrine Tumor (NET) Cancer. Last year, the organization raised and donated a record-breaking $95,000 to the NET Tumor Program at the University of Pennsylvania Abramson Cancer Center.
A Leader in Custom Challenge Coins and Custom Race Medals
LogoTags specializes in creating the highest quality custom challenge coins and custom race medals for military units, law enforcement agencies, government organizations, corporations, nonprofits, schools, athletic events and community organizations throughout the United States and the world.
Backed by the amazing manufacturing heritage of Ball Chain Manufacturing, a family-owned American company founded in 1938, LogoTags combines decades of metalworking experience with modern design capabilities, outstanding customer service and the highest quality products in the industry.
The company designs and produces a wide range of custom challenge coins, including military challenge coins, police challenge coins, fire department coins, commemorative coins, corporate coins, recognition coins and specialty custom designs.
LogoTags' custom challenge coins can be produced in virtually any shape, size, finish or design, with options including and certainly not limited to antique gold, antique silver, polished finishes, custom shapes, dimensional 2D and 3D artwork, color fills, detailed edge treatments and high-resolution UV color printed enhancements.
LogoTags also produces custom race medals and event medals for 5Ks, marathons, charitable walks, sporting events, competitions and special occasions. From traditional round medals to completely custom shapes and dimensional designs, LogoTags works closely with customers to create medals that participants will be proud to receive and keep.
"We are extremely proud to provide support to Run for the Stripes," said Dawn Milanese, LogoTags Division Manager. "The medals recognize race participants while also helping support an organization doing important work for NET Cancer awareness and research." Milanese added, "One of the things that makes LogoTags different is our artwork and customer service. Customers do not need to come to us with finished artwork. They can send us a logo, photograph, sketch, drawing, wording or simply describe what they are looking for, and our experienced art teams can turn that idea into a professional custom design. We like to say: No art? No problem."
Lori Canzanese, Vice President and Race Director Run for the Stripes, expressed her excitement in advance of the event, "Run for the Stripes is a non-profit organization that focuses on raising research funds, awareness, and creating community for NET cancer patients. LogoTags is a valued partner, supporting our organization by producing the race medals we use to acknowledge participants in many categories at our 5k event. We appreciate their prompt service and personal approach to all customer interactions. We look forward to continuing our partnership with LogoTags in the years to come."
