Charity

In its 14th year, The BRA Run supports Evelyn’s BFF, a charity that helps breast cancer survivors get back to their new normal while supporting counseling, reconstruction, and other items that people are often not able to get covered by their insurance. Most of our grant recipients have bills going into 6 figures! This event is the biggest fundraiser for this all volunteer organization and determines how many people they can help this year.

Evelyn, the founder of the Evelyn's Breast Friends Forever (BFF), a 501(c)3 non-profit public benefit charity foundation, started this event in 2013 and in her honor we have a 5K and a 13K at the BRA Run.

Join us for Evelyn's party so we all can help other breast cancer survivors and their families. Our event spreads awareness of breast cancer reconstruction to the community by encouraging men and women to run and walk in their BRA (Breast Reconstruction Awareness) in honor and in memory of those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Donate to Evelyn's BFF.

Make it a Virtual Run/Walk

Can't make it in person but want to be a part of the event and support breast cancer survivors? Sign up for the virtual run and we will mail you a bib, shirt and medal.
