Wicked Fun CareOne Lex Run
The 2016 Wicked Fun CareOne Lex Run 5K Run/Walk will be held Sunday March 20th, 2016 starting at 10:00 a.m. in Lexington, MA at CareOne Lexington, 178 Lowell Street, Lexington MA. Founded by Evelyn H. Lauder in 1993, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) advances the world's most promising research to eradicate breast cancer. BCRF has raised more than $575 million to fuel discoveries in tumor biology, genetics, prevention, treatment, survivorship and metastasis, making it the largest non-governmental funder of breast cancer research in the world. In 2015, BCRF awarded $48.5 million to support 240 researchers at leading medical institutions worldwide and an additional $5.4 million from the Evelyn Lauder Founder's Fund towards a global research project on metastatic disease. BCRF is the only breast cancer organization to hold an "A+" from CharityWatch, together with Charity Navigator's highest rating of four stars. By spending 91 cents of every dollar on research and public awareness programs, BCRF remains one of the nation's most fiscally responsible nonprofits. Portion of proceeds from this race will go directly to Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
