Celebrating Five Years of Hope and Healing
Save the Date: Saturday, October 24, 2026
This fall, Montefiore Nyack Foundation will proudly celebrate the 5th Annual Rides & Strides for Cancer Care, benefiting the Breast Center at Montefiore Nyack Hospital.
What began as a vision to bring the community together in support of breast health has grown into one of Rockland County’s most inspiring events.
Over the past four years, the Foundation has raised more than $650,000, helping ensure that patients receive compassionate care regardless of their ability to pay, and supporting investments in advanced technology, including upgrades to the Breast Center’s 3D mammography capabilities to accommodate more patients close to home.
This year’s event is especially meaningful as we celebrate five years of hope, healing and community. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated planning committee, led by Kevin Francis and Samantha Quinn, who have shepherded Rides & Strides since its inception. Their leadership and unwavering commitment have helped transform the event into a beloved community tradition.
“Five years ago, we set out to create an event that would not only raise funds but also bring our community together in support of breast health,” said Kevin Francis, a member of both the Montefiore Nyack Hospital Board of Trustees and the Montefiore Nyack Foundation Board. “Thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors, participants, volunteers and donors, we’ve raised more than $650,000 to strengthen the Breast Center and ensure that exceptional care and advanced technology remain available to everyone who needs it. That is something truly worth celebrating.”
We are also grateful to our generous sponsors whose support has helped make this year’s event possible.
As we celebrate this milestone fifth anniversary, we look forward to welcoming more than 1,000 participants on Saturday, October 24, 2026, as we continue our mission of providing exceptional breast care close to home.
Whether you walk, ride, volunteer, sponsor or cheer from the sidelines, we invite you to join us in celebrating five years of impact and investing in the health and well-being of our community.
Together, we ride. Together, we stride. Together, we make more possible!
