Bee Brave 5K

Ready to make a difference with every step you take? Bee Brave is not just an event; it's a movement—a vibrant community united for a powerful cause: supporting local breast cancer research. Over the past 15 years, we've turned passion into action, not only raising awareness but also over $590,000, directly fueling Dr. Matt Steensma's groundbreaking work at Van Andel Institute in Grand Rapids.

What sets us apart? Every penny—that's 100% of contributions—stays in Grand Rapids, bolstering our hometown's fight against breast cancer. And with our squad of dedicated volunteers and the unwavering support of local businesses, we ensure that all event proceeds are channeled straight to research. In partnership with VAI Purple Community, we're empowering everyday heroes to organize and rally support. Together, let's celebrate life, honor memories, and blaze a trail towards a cure. Join Bee Brave; your journey starts here!
