Southcoast Health Cancer Care Nicole Podkowa 5k
The Southcoast Health Cancer Care Nicole Podkowa 5k is scheduled for October 4, 2026 and marks its ninth annual running. The event is organized by Southcoast Health Cancer Care and offers both in-person and virtual 5k participation. A Kid's Dash is available free for children ages 8 and under. In addition to runners and walkers, the event seeks volunteers, community committee members, and peer-to-peer fundraisers.
Proceeds support the Nicole Podkowa Patient and Caregiver Fund. Last year the event raised over $175,000 for the fund, which provides assistance for utility payments, food, housing, transportation, cancer related supplies, and other necessities for patients and their families. The event materials also note opportunities for donations and corporate sponsorships. Southcoast Health is described as a not-for-profit community based health system serving southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
