Thank you for Making our 5th Annual Rides & Strides a Success!
On Saturday, October 24, more than 800 participants and volunteers came together at Rockland Lake State Park for our fifth annual Rides & Strides. Whether you rode, walked, volunteered, cheered from the sidelines or supported us from afar, you helped turn a picture-perfect day into a celebration with a lasting community impact.
Together, we surpassed our goal and raised more than $215,000 for the Breast Center at Montefiore Nyack Hospital, bringing the event’s five-year fundraising total to over $900,000.
Congratulations to our top 5K finishers:
- Top male finishers: Pat Driscoll, Michael Valentik and James Cronin
- Top female finishers: Ryan Donovan, Veronica Valentik and Marie Jean
- Top employee fundraising team: Pink Ladies
- Top community fundraising team: Get Busy Living

Funds raised will help uninsured, underinsured and medically underserved women access the mammography screenings and diagnostic services they need. This past year, the Foundation Board transferred nearly $500,000 to the Hospital to upgrade the Breast Center’s 3D mammography technology, helping ensure that more women receive advanced, state-of-the-art care.
Nationally recognized for comprehensive quality care, the Breast Center at Montefiore Nyack provides access to the latest screening technology, diagnostic services, surgical techniques and treatments.
Thank you to everyone who helped make our fifth anniversary such an extraordinary success!
All contributions will directly provide mammogram screening services to the under insured, uninsured, and medically underserved, ensuring that more women have access to the screening services they need on an annual basis.
