THANK YOU! WE'VE RAISED OVER $557,564 IN 2023!

Since its inception in 1994, Rays of Hope has been helping individuals in the fight against breast cancer by walking alongside them on their cancer journey. Through the Baystate Health Breast Network, Rays of Hope cares for the whole person from diagnosis and beyond by supporting research at the Rays of Hope Center for Breast Cancer Research, providing funding for state-of-the-art equipment, breast health programs and outreach and education throughout Baystate Health, support to patients and survivors, as well as providing grants for complementary therapies and cancer programs to our community partners throughout western Massachusetts.

 

Rays of Hope has raised over $17.2 million to date. All funds raised remain local in western Massachusetts.

The feeling of hope was in the air at the Rays of Hope Walk & Run Toward the Cure of Breast Cancer, sponsored by Hyundai Hope on Wheels, on Sunday, October 27, 2024! More than 15,000 participants came together to hit the pavement and support this important cause. As of today, more than $550,000 was raised to support cancer care, research, and education in western Massachusetts—and we’re still counting! There is still time to give hope and make a donation through the link above.

Thank you to our participants, sponsors, and volunteers for making this year's event a success!
