Fundraising for Family Reach, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing financial assistance to families battling cancer.
The LCB 5K exists to help families facing the financial and emotional challenges that come with cancer. When a loved one is diagnosed, the costs go far beyond treatment — housing, food, utilities, and transportation all become harder to manage.
Every registration and contribution helps families focus on healing instead of bills.
The LCB 5K is held to raise funds for families facing cancer through Family Reach, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to removing the financial barriers between cancer patients and their treatment — helping with essentials like housing, food, utilities, and transportation. Following the event, LCB makes a lump-sum donation to Family Reach.
Together, we turn miles into meaningful support for families in need.
This event was created in memory of two beloved uncles whose strength, love, and legacy continue to inspire the LCB 5K every year.
Father, husband, son, grandfather, brother, and friend. A master barber who was dedicated, loyal, humble, and courageous. Ken's light still shines in everyone who knew and loved him.
Known as Enzo — an amazing son, father, friend, and the best brother a sister could hope for. His kindness, strength, and unwavering love made a profound impact on all of us.
Thank you for helping us support families facing cancer through the LCB 5K.
