This year marks the 33rd anniversary of the Go for the Gold Rochester fundraiser supporting Brighter, Tomorrows, Inc, , a non-profit outreach to families who have been touched by childhood cancer. This year we are excited to welcome you to a new location where we will host an event that offers both in person and virtual options including a 5k and 10k run, 3k Family Walk, and also Children's Races at the Cascade Lakeside Building area on October 25th! During Covid we were so appreciative of those of you who supported us via a virtual race from across the US that we have decided to continue the virtual race and walk options! This annual event provides critical funding allowing us to support families who suddenly find themselves on a childhood cancer journey. The comfort Brighter Tomorrows’ families feel from the support, connection and friendship received is impactful and that support continues beyond the treatment journey well into the future. We sincerely appreciate the compassion, volunteer efforts and financial donations that have been given to Brighter Tomorrows and extend our heartfelt thanks to friends, families, our business colleagues, and our communities that have joined our mission. You can help by donating to Brighter Tomorrows, Inc. and by sharing this page on social media with all those you care about! And of course, if you sign up to run or walk in person or virtually all proceeds from this event go to benefit families on the childhood cancer journey! Who knows how it feels to be told "Your child has cancer?" We do. And we are here to help. Whether it's your first 5k, 10k Run or you'd prefer to walk the 3k, you can take part in supporting Brighter Tomorrows. Sign up today! Everyone who signs up by October 1st will receive a race shirt in your designated size at our Race Bag Pickup on October 24th. If you sign up after 10/1/25 we will do our best to accommodate your request however available shirts may be limited and cannot be guarant
