From the Organizer
Join us for the inaugural Creekside 5K for a Cure, a community event benefiting Dollars for Mammograms and the Englewood YMCA. Together, we're taking strides to improve lives by supporting access to life-saving breast health services while strengthening the health and well-being of our community.

This scenic 5K welcomes participants of all ages and fitness levels, making it the perfect event for families, friends, businesses, and community groups to come together for a meaningful cause.
Proceeds from the race will support Dollars for Mammograms, helping provide mammograms and breast health services for individuals in need, and the Englewood YMCA, where financial assistance ensures that everyone—regardless of their ability to pay—has access to life-changing programs that promote youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.
