Breast Cancer Alliance (BCA) will hold its annual 5K Run/Walk on Sunday, May 4, at Richards, 329 Greenwich Ave., at 9:00am. This event unites runners, walkers, and community members of all ages to promote health, wellness, and the fight against breast cancer.
This year, proceeds will directly fund BCA’s Screening Grants, which provide life-saving mammograms and ultrasounds for underserved communities in Connecticut and Westchester County, NY.
Also this year, a mammogram van will be stationed in the parking lot to reinforce the importance of screening. In addition, it will provide an opportunity to demystify the procedure for those who have never seen a mammogram imaging unit and to understand how it works.
“Every step taken and every dollar raised at our 5K Run/Walk helps fund crucial, life-saving screenings and diagnostic support for those who might not otherwise have access. We are incredibly grateful to our participants and sponsors for their dedication and generosity. Together, we are creating a future with better outcomes and more hope.” said Karen Colella, BCA President.
