We’re simply bowled over by the amazing support we had for the Bed In 2024.
Thanks to you, we raised over $45,000!! Each and every dollar goes towards supporting our free programs and services for people with a cancer diagnosis and their caregivers.
We’re so grateful to each and every friend (new and longstanding alike) and all the kind neighbors that stopped by the Bed In to say hello, sing a song, hop on the bed, and spend some time with us. We were serenaded, fed, cheered, hugged, encouraged, and even snuggled by few dogs pals!
We’re endlessly thankful to Greenfield Savings Bank Greenfield Savings bank for their outstanding generosity with the Community Challenge grant of $15,000 and their visionary leadership on bringing this event into the branch.

WMass Mother’s Day Half Marathon
Registration is now open for the 2023 Annual Western Mass Mother’s Day Half Marathon, a benefit for Cancer Connection.

We will need volunteers that morning, too! You might hand out water, direct runners and walkers along the route, set up and distribute food at the finish line and much more. Information about signing up to volunteer will be available early 2023.
Over the past 12 years, this unique run/walk has raised more than $500,000 for Cancer Connection. Join us for a meaningful way to celebrate Mother’s Day. Do it for your mom, in honor of your mom, in memory of your mom, because you’re a mom – or just because you want to run/walk/volunteer for a good cause.
