The Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition (DBCC) is proud to announce the return of Broadwalk on the Boardwalk, a heartfelt community fundraiser created by Kathy Wiz in honor of her sister’s courageous battle with breast cancer. This free event takes place on Saturday, May 10, 2025, with registration beginning at 9 a.m. and the walk stepping off at 10 a.m. from CAMP Rehoboth.

Broadwalk on the Boardwalk is more than just a walk—it’s a powerful tribute to those we’ve lost to cancer and a celebration of survivors. Community members, families, and friends are invited to gather, walk, and show their support in pink.

Connie Holdridge, DBCC’s Director of Survivorship & Education, shared, “The Broadwalk on the Boardwalk is the most emotionally intense event we attend. Each year, when we are at the end of the walk on the beach, the supporters line up in the shape of a heart. The survivors and thrivers are invited into the heart by the number of years they have survived so far. It brings tears to my eyes every time.”

The morning kicks off with a festive pre-walk celebration in the CAMP Rehoboth courtyard, featuring:

• Uplifting music by DJ Sharon

• A 50/50 raffle

• Face painting for all ages

• Pink boas available for a donation

At 10 a.m., participants will walk together along the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk, heading north, and culminating with a symbolic heart formation on the beach—a beautiful moment of unity, remembrance, and hope.

Event registration is free and now open at: https://give.debreastcancer.org/ge/broadwalk2025

Join in raising awareness, celebrating strength, and walking toward a future without breast cancer.

About Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition 

The Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition (DBCC) is a 501(c)(3) organization offering statewide programs and services.  The mission of the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition, Inc. is to empower its community by raising awareness of breast health issues and increasing access to care through outreach, education, and support services, to facilitate early detection and treatment of breast cancer.

Its vision is to create a caring community where barriers to breast cancer screenings are removed and all persons at risk served by DBCC have access to quality care and treatment. DBCC will ensure each individual diagnosed receives resources to become a thriving survivor, armed with the knowledge and support needed to conquer this disease.

Headquartered in Wilmington with offices in Kent and Sussex Counties, the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition’s programs reach diverse communities to deliver messages that address their unique concerns about breast cancer and early detection. Recognizing the barriers of language, culture, and economics, DBCC trains community advocates through their Peer Mentor Program, as well as works to help educate and encourage women and men to take responsibility for their health through breast health presentations and community health fairs. In addition, the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition helps those with low incomes and those with little or no insurance receive free or reduced-cost care.
