Ellen's Run 2017
Ellen’s Run, an annual 5k (3.1-mile) race, is an important fundraising vehicle for the Foundation and an innovative, grassroots event, that raises awareness about breast cancer. Held on the East End of Long Island, where breast cancer diagnosis and mortality rates are among the highest in the state, Ellen’s Run draws on the strength of the community and gives back to the community in the form of local projects. Proceeds from Ellen’s Run support the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center at Southampton Hospital. by funding state-of-the-art technology such as digital mammography equipment. Ellen’s Run also supports Ellen’s Well, a program that provides psychosocial support for breast cancer survivors under the leadership of a specially trained certified social worker.
