Lynn Cancer Institute Raises Funds for Cancer Care Services through Annual Run for the Ribbons
BOCA RATON, FL – March 25, 2025 – The Eugene M. and Christine E. Lynn Cancer Institute, part of Baptist Health South Florida, at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, recently hosted the 14th Annual Run for the Ribbons. Attracting over 800 participants, the event raised over $70,000 to support cancer patients through special programs made possible by the hospital’s League of Ribbons.
“Participating in Run for the Ribbons is about more than just physical activity – it’s about coming together as a community to give back and support patients battling cancer,” said Dr. Louise Morrell, medical oncologist and medical director of Lynn Cancer Institute. “The resources generated through these efforts help us provide not only advanced treatment options for patients, but also the emotional and psychological support that cancer patients need throughout their journey.”
On-site at the event, attendees of all ages participated in a 5K run/1 mile walk, followed by the annual World Cancer Day Celebration for survivors and their families. Proceeds from Run for the Ribbons directly benefit the League of Ribbons. The League of Ribbons funds critical cancer services, as well as providing patients with complimentary health and wellness programs and guided imagery, yoga and massage therapy, gifts cards for groceries and gas, and more.
“This annual event spotlights the role that hope, compassion, and support play in the overall healing journey for patients,” said Maureen Mann, vice president of Lynn Cancer Institute. “Every participant, every donor, and every volunteer is making an impact; together, we are providing services to make a lasting impact on the lives of our patients and their families.”
