Melissa's Brigade 5K : Media, Pennsylvania
Melissa's Brigade 5K is an annual community 5K run or walk held at Rose Tree County Park in Media, Pennsylvania on October 3, 2026. The event also offers a virtual walk option so participants can take part from locations outside the park.
The stated purpose is to raise funds for Comfort Care Packages distributed to men, women and children battling cancer in Mercer County, New Jersey. A past recipient of the Care Package received treatment at Fox Chase and later became an advocate for the program; proceeds from this event support the Mercer County division of the organizing group.
Event materials note that early registration is required to be guaranteed a t-shirt. All net proceeds support the Melissa's Brigade program within the Mercer County, NJ division of Lisa's Army.
The description focuses on the race format, the charitable beneficiary, and the connection between the Comfort Care Package program and recipients in the Mercer County community.
