Throughout the last 19 years, Bee Brave has grown to into a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about raising breast cancer awareness, supporting fighters and honoring those whose battle has ended. Bee Brave is a haven of hope for those who need it, a home in which to share their courageous stories, as well as a place to celebrate the victories and triumphs over breast cancer.

Since 2016, Bee Brave has raised more than $1,000,000 to support breakthrough breast cancer research at Van Andel Institute in Grand Rapids. An amazing accomplishment only made possible through this community.

Bee Brave is different because all of the money raised stays in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

• One hundred percent of Bee Brave events are organized by volunteers and supported by local business sponsors who are dedicated to finding a cure.
• One hundred percent of race registrations go directly to breast cancer research at Van Andel Institute.

Your sponsorship of the 19th annual Bee Brave 5K Run/Walk provides a unique opportunity to support breast cancer research at Van Andel Institute. We are grateful for your support!
