Getting involved with Ellie Fund can take many forms including charity runs, walks, bike races, and other athletic events.
By joining Team Ellie, participants challenge themselves while raising vital funds to support breast cancer patients and their families. Whether you’ve received support from Ellie Fund, would like to honor someone impacted by breast cancer, or simply want to make a difference, Team Ellie offers a meaningful way to turn your miles into impact. Join us and help ensure that no patient has to face cancer alone.
Falmouth Road Race
There are many ways to be part of the excitement of the Falmouth Road Race! Join Team Ellie and run the iconic 7-mile race with us in person on race day, or participate through the race’s virtual option if you’d still like to fundraise but can’t be there in person. Not a runner? You can still be part of the fun by coming out to cheer on our Team Ellie athletes and help power them to the finish line.
Boston Marathon
Ellie Fund is honored to participate in the Boston Marathon® Charity Program and receives a limited number of race bibs each year. Applications to run the Boston Marathon with Team Ellie typically open at the end of the summer for the following year’s race. Runners who have secured their own bib – such as those who have qualified with a Boston Marathon qualifying time – are also welcome to join Team Ellie and fundraise in support of breast cancer patients and their families.
Skating Strides
Skating Strides is a unique fundraising and awareness program for hockey teams of all levels. Rinks all over Massachusetts, from the Big East Conference teams to Learn to Play youth programs, are turning Pink for Ellie Fund. Teams make it their own with pink jerseys, chuck-a-puck fundraisers, specialty merch, and so much more! Skating Strides gives student-athletes the opportunity to give back to the community and honor those who have been impacted by breast cancer.
Ride for Food
Three Squares New England’s annual Ride for Food and 5k Walk for Food brings together local organizations that address food insecurity as a way for each organization to fundraise for their own missions. Ellie Fund is riding and walking along 25+ local hunger relief agencies to fundraise for our patient grocery grants and prepared meals.
The Battlegreen Run
Team Ellie has proudly participated in the Battlegreen run since 2024. This scenic fall course runs through Lexington towards the end of fall. Choose from a 2k or 5k walk, or a 5k or 10k run. Applications to join will be posted here in the summer.
Bring Your Own Bib
We often have athletes that join Team Ellie with a bib that they have received elsewhere, whether they qualified for the race, is running in a race we are not a part of but want to fundraise for us, etc. If you are looking to join us in some way, please reach out! We’d love to make it work.
