ABOUT US

We are an all-volunteer, grassroots organization that founded the Women’s 5K Classic back in 1993.
Since then we have successfully funded numerous and worthy programs and organizations in the greater Lehigh Valley. We have cumulatively donated over 4 million dollars!

The 2023 Women’s 5K Classic donated $175,500 to worthy programs in the greater Lehigh Valley. Over 30,000 female relatives, friends, co-workers and neighbors benefitted from these grants. The grants are in the areas of prevention, education and support of women dealing with breast and other female cancers. Another goal of the Women’s 5K Classic is to encourage females of all ages to develop a healthy life style and to build self esteem.

Through a unique community effort in the Greater Lehigh Valley, the overall mission of the Women’s 5K Classic is:

  • To promote fitness among women and invite women to participate in running and walking to enhance their physical, mental and emotional well-being.
  • To support women with breast and gynecologic cancers and their families and to contribute to funding for related programs and research in the Lehigh Valley.
  • To educate women about cancer awareness, prevention and treatment.
