Join us Saturday, October 17th, 2026, on Ocean Pathway in Ocean Grove, New Jersey, as we walk, run, dance, and celebrate in support of the incredible women of Mary’s Place by the Sea.
This year, we proudly celebrate 17 years of service to more than 17,000 women with cancer. Because of your continued generosity, we’ve been able to provide every guest with holistic services and comfortable accommodations—completely free of charge. Now, it’s time to come together and celebrate all that weve accomplished—because of you!
In addition to our cherished vendor market, we’re excited to introduce an expanded lineup of food vendors and food trucks.
Our fundraising goal for this year is $200,000. Every contribution supports our mission to offer women with cancer a place of healing—where they can rest, restore, and reconnect in mind, body, and soul.
So lace up your sneakers, grab your water bottles, and join us for a joyful day of community, compassion, and celebration. We can’t wait to welcome you this October!

The New York Times called Buffalo, NY born Willie Nile "one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years." Uncut Magazine called him “A one-man Clash” and “the unofficial poet laureate of New York City”.

Now accepting Spring and Annual Storage reservations 

The NJ Paddock Car Storage Facility INSURED

*Now accepting Winter reservations* Insurance is not optional-it is essential. Before you hand over the keys to your prized vehicle, ask one question: is it truly protected? At The Paddock, secure climate-controlled storage is only the beginning — our Hagerty Agreed Value Garage Keepers insurance gives owners the peace of mind most storage facilities can't. Make sure to pull up the facility's address on the internet to make sure the facility is not located in a crime or flood area (or both). Because your vehicle deserves more than storage — it deserves protection. Contact The Paddock today to reserve secure, insured storage for your prized vehicle — before you trust it to anyone else.
