All proceeds benefit Family Reach, providing financial assistance to families battling cancer.
Every Step Makes a Difference
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 donation helps families focus on healing instead of bills.
All proceeds benefit Family Reach, a nonprofit dedicated to removing the financial barriers between cancer patients and their treatment — helping with essentials like housing, food, utilities, and transportation.
Love. Care. Believe.
Together, we turn miles into meaningful support for families in need.
Running in Their Memory
This event was created in memory of two beloved uncles whose strength, love, and legacy continue to inspire the LCB 5K every year.
Kenneth Angelino
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.
Vincent Evola
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.
Our First Year Made a Difference
Thanks to our incredible community, the inaugural LCB 5K raised meaningful support for families facing cancer.
