Join us for a Walk and 100 Yard Kid's Dash (for children ages 5 and up): Sunday, May 3, 2026. Proceeds benefit YWCA Princeton's Breast Cancer Resource Center in our mission to help women and their families live with, through and beyond breast cancer. The BCRC provides free programs and services such as wigs, fitness classes, nutrition and healthy eating classes, healing arts classes, support groups, financial resources, webinars on various topics related to breast cancer, one on one support, as well as community outreach and education workshops for various organizations all over New Jersey.

Participants will complete the Warrior Walk at their own pace at the Princeton University Track on Sunday, May 3, 2026.

• Registration begins at 10:00am

• Event activities begin at 10:30am

The Warrior Walk will be starting and ending on the track at Weaver Stadium, located on the beautiful Princeton University Campus.

This year's fun family-friendly walk will be a on a wheelchair accessible paved track (walkway).

The Kid's 100-Yard Dash will consist of three age categories: 5 & under, 6-8, and 9-10 year olds. Prizes will be given top winners of each category.

Can't attend in-person? Register and participate virtually! You can still support the BCRC in your own neighborhood, school, or park!

Cost: Registration fees are $20 and $25 day of event, and we are asking for a minimum $100 fundraising goal per registration. If you raise $100 or more you will receive a BCRC Warrior Walk t-shirt (one per person, while supplies last). Children under 10 are free (t-shirt NOT included).

Our overall fundraising goal for the BCRC Warrior Walk is $15,000--your support is critical in helping us reach our goal! This website allows you to create your own page and share on social media. It's as easy as asking 10 friends for $10! Let's break it down this way:

• A $10 donation helps one woman attend one of our support groups

• A $25 donation will help two women take part in our Healing Arts classes

• A donation of $100 enables one woman to receive a wig as she goes through chemotherapy treatments

Don't want to walk alone? Form a corporate or social team https://runsignup.com/Race/Donate/129556/BecomeFundraiser. Join the fun for a good cause and think of how many women we can help! There are also prizes being awarded for fundraising!!

Awards: Prizes will be given out to the top three overall fundraisers and the top fundraising team. The minimum fundraising goal is $100.
