The 18th Annual 5K Walk/Run for Cancer Center is a community fundraising event held in Derby, Connecticut at 350 Seymour Avenue.

Powanda Memorial Award for the top fundraising individual, the Team Synergy Award for the top fundraising team, and the Make It Happen Award for the individual or team that best embodies the event spirit.
