Breast Cancer Alliance's 5K For HOPE Returns May 3 With Goal Of 800 Participants To Fund More Breast Cancer Screenings

(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- Last year, more than 600 runners and walkers laced up their shoes for Breast Cancer Alliance 's 5K for HOPE - and together they helped fund free breast cancer screenings at hospitals across Connecticut and Westchester, reaching thousands of women who might otherwise never have been screened. Now BCA is bringing that momentum back for 2026, with an ambitious goal: 800 participants, more lives reached, and more hope in every community they serve.

Breast Cancer Alliance's 5K for HOPE takes place on Sunday morning, May 3, 2026, at Richards, 359 Greenwich Ave., Greenwich, CT. Every dollar raised from registration goes directly to BCA's Screening and Diagnostic Grants, funding life-saving mammograms and ultrasounds for underserved communities across Connecticut and Westchester County, NY - no overhead, no dilution, just screenings that save lives.

To celebrate BCA's 30 years of impact, Connecticut State Senator Ryan Fazio will serve as Grand Marshal, opening the race alongside the BCA community. Greenwich First Selectman Fred Camillo will host the Closing Awards Ceremony, honoring top finishers across all race categories.

"To everyone who has walked, run, donated, and cheered us on for three decades - thank you. Because of you, thousands of women have been screened who might otherwise never have been. This May 3rd, we need 800 of you to do it again. Come out, bring a friend, and help us keep that promise."- Lori Kron, BCA President

"Thirty years ago, BCA made a promise: no woman should miss a life-saving screening because she can't afford it. This May 3rd, your registration fulfills that promise. Join us at Richards on a Sunday morning - it's one hour of your time that could mean a lifetime for someone else." - Michelle Bella, BCA Executive Director
