CancerCare is bringing its Long Island Walk for Hope back to Woodbury on Sunday, November 15, 2026. The annual family-friendly 5K will take place at the Town of Oyster Bay Golf Course, 1 Southwoods Road, and will bring together local residents, families, friends, and businesses to support people affected by cancer. The walk raises money for CancerCare’s free, professional support services, which help individuals and families deal with the many challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis. From emotional support to practical guidance, these services provide essential resources throughout the cancer journey.
Last year’s event brought out more than 150 participants and raised over $80,000. The turnout showed strong support from the Long Island community, and organizers hope to build on that success this year. Participants can get involved by registering for the 5K, organizing a team with family and friends, or making a donation. The morning’s schedule will begin with check-in at 8:30 a.m., followed by the opening ceremony at 9:30 a.m. The walk will start at 10 a.m. Whether participants plan to complete the full 5K or simply want to show their support, the event gives the community an opportunity to come together for a meaningful cause.
Local businesses and organizations are also encouraged to take part through sponsorship opportunities. CancerCare’s 2026 sponsorship program includes several levels, ranging from community and mile sponsors to larger corporate partnerships and in-kind contributions. Sponsorship support helps make the event possible while giving businesses an opportunity to contribute to a cause that affects so many families. Among this year’s supporters is 19th & 7th, which is contributing as an in-kind sponsor by providing event photography, video coverage, social media content, and public relations services. Photos and a highlight reel from the event will be made available to the media following the walk.
Cancer affects individuals and families in different ways, and having access to support can make a real difference. Events like the Walk for Hope give the community a chance to help ensure those resources remain available. Those interested in participating or donating can register at https://give.cancercare.org/campaigns/32kX23/register. Businesses interested in sponsorship opportunities can find additional information through CancerCare’s sponsorship materials.
