HOPE STARTS HERE.

Since 1994, Rays of Hope has been committed to improving the breast health of people in our communities with quality and compassion. The Walk & Run Toward the Cure of Breast Cancer has grown from 500 to over 20,000 participants and has raised over $17.7 million for our community.

It seems that nearly everyone today has been touched by breast cancer, in some way. Perhaps you, someone in your family or a friend is facing the battle. But it does not have to be faced alone. That's why Rays of Hope is here.

In partnership with the Baystate Health Breast Network and Baystate Health Foundation, funding benefits research at the Rays of Hope Center for Breast Cancer Research, breast cancer programs and services, outreach and education, and awards grants to various community support programs and organizations right here in Western Massachusetts.
