ABOUT

Ellen’s Run, an annual 5k (3.1mile) race, is the signature fundraising event of The Ellen Hermanson Foundation and an innovative, grassroots event, that raises awareness about breast cancer. Held on the East End of Long Island, where breast cancer diagnosis and mortality rates are among the highest in  New York, Ellen’s Run draws on the strength of the community and gives back by providing  breast cancer screenings support and education. 

The First Annual Ellen’s Run attracted more than 500 participants and raised more than $62,000—an astonishing success for a first time event. By the third year, the amount of money raised had more than doubled. By its fourth year, Ellen's Run had become the largest race on the South Fork, with nearly 900 registered participant . As we approach our 28th year, Ellen’s Run has grown to over 1,000 participants and The Ellen Hermanson Foundation has awarded more than $6 million in grants over the course of the last 28 years.

About The Ellen Hermanson Foundation — Since 1997, The Ellen Hermanson Foundation has changed the medical landscape of the East End of Long Island through its mission to ensure access to quality breast health care and empower people effected by cancer.. With a deep commitment to the community, the Foundation gives back by funding state-of-the-art medical equipment and breast cancer screenings at The Ellen Hermanson Breast Center at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital and locations in Hampton Bays and East Hampton. Proceeds also benefit Ellen’s Well, a free psycho-social services program that provides social and financial support and other healing opportunities for breast cancer survivors. No one is turned away from the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center for lack of insurance or inability to pay.

The Ellen Hermanson Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
