Breast Cancer Alliance's 5K for HOPE Returns May 3 to Fund Life-Saving Screenings

GREENWICH, CT, UNITED STATES, April
8, 2026 /-- 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
