Meet our Team Ellie Boston runner Jennifer Habrek. Jennifer is running the 130th Boston Marathon presented by as a breast cancer survivor and Ellie Fund patient.

"Ellie fund supported me and my family in 2024 while I battled Triple Negative Breast Cancer while pregnant and then postpartum. It is a foundation that supports real human beings and I would like nothing more than to be part of helping the next woman who finds herself in my same terrifying position. I can’t begin to express what that diagnosis at 34 years old, pregnant and with a ten month old at home meant for my husband and I and the Ellie fund truly helped ease our burden."

Our founder Jeff Popkin can still recall the warmth and impact his mother’s friends and relatives brought to his family’s life. Now, for thirty years Ellie Fund has created that same sense of love and belonging for thousands of breast cancer patients like Jenna.

And just like that… the red carpet rolls up, but the work continues.

The Ellie Fund Red Carpet Gala is more than a night of glamour, it’s a spark. A reminder of what’s possible when a community shows up with heart, compassion, and purpose.

Because long after the lights dim… families are still navigating treatment, caregiving, and the everyday realities of a breast cancer diagnosis. And that’s where you come in.

Here’s what your support makes possible in 2026:

$25 – Helps provide a prepared meal or covers parking
for a hospital visit
$50 – Provides round-trip transportation to treatment
$100 – Covers a week of radiation parking
$150 – Ensures a clean, cared-for home during recovery
$250 – Eases the burden of reliable childcare
$500 – Provides oncology massage sessions to reduce side effects
$1,050 – Fully funds a grant for a curative patient
$2,100 – Fully funds a grant for a metastatic patient
$2,500 – Supports five patients with a month of acupuncture or massage
$5,000 – Sustains a metastatic patient and partner with groceries for six months
$10,000 – Fully funds grants for eight families for six months

This is the impact. This is the mission. This is why we gather.

From the red carpet to real life—the Ellie Fund is here, every single day.

Let this be your reminder: the night may be over, but the movement and work is not.

Today, and all week long, we recognize National Public Health Week (April 6–12, 2026) a time to spotlight the systems, solutions, and community care that shape healthier lives for all.

This year’s theme, “Ready. Set. Action!”, calls us to move beyond awareness and into impact.

At Ellie Fund, our service delivery model is rooted in a public health approach to chronic disease, addressing the social determinants of health that directly affect a patient’s ability to access and complete treatment.

From transportation and groceries to childcare and housing support, we remove everyday barriers so individuals and families facing breast cancer can focus on healing with dignity and stability.

Because public health isn’t just policy; it’s people.
It’s community.
It’s action.

We are proud to stand alongside public health leaders nationwide in building a future where care is equitable, accessible, and centered around the whole person.

"Years ago, my mom fought and beat breast cancer. A few years later, it came back as metastatic breast cancer—and she is still in the fight today.

I feel truly blessed for this opportunity to run for my mom and to help support others in their fight."
