Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 17th Annual Ron’s Run for the Roses and helped make this year’s event such an unforgettable celebration of hope, community, and compassion.

We are deeply thankful to our Premier Sponsor, Hartford HealthCare, and our Presenting Sponsor, PeoplesBank, for their extraordinary partnership and support. We also extend our sincere appreciation to our Master of Ceremonies, Joe Furey, and our Honorary Chair, Kevin M. Dowd, for helping make the day so meaningful and memorable.

This year, we were especially honored to present our inaugural “Rose of Hope” Award to Dr. Andrew Salner in recognition of his lasting impact, compassionate care, and unwavering dedication to cancer patients and families throughout our community.

To our amazing staff, sponsors, donors, volunteers, board members, and vendors — thank you for the countless ways you contributed to the success of this event. Your generosity, enthusiasm, and commitment continue to drive our mission forward.

Because of your support, we have already raised over $230,000, and we’re still going strong! With your help, we hope to reach our goal of $250,000 in support of pancreatic cancer patients, caregivers, education, and research.

If you would still like to contribute, there’s still time to make an impact. Click the button below to help us continue the fight against pancreatic cancer.
