The Ellen Hermanson Foundation
The Ellen Hermanson Foundation was established in 1997 to honor the memory of Ellen Hermanson and carry on the important work to which she devoted so much of her time and energy. An activist and an advocate, Ellen channeled her journalistic talents to become a forceful voice for breast cancer patients and their families. She educated her readers about the importance of early detection, the challenges of living with breast cancer, the very real, but little-discussed or understood, issue of pain management, and the debilitating effects of breast cancer on the entire family.
The Ellen Hermanson Foundation is unique in its commitment to helping breast cancer patients and their families cope with the changing nature of the physical and emotional aspects of breast cancer.
Mission Statement
To ensure access to state-of-the-art breast health care and to empower people affected by cancer. We are working to fulfill our mission by focusing on two areas, primarily to serve breast cancer patients on the East End of Long Island: Educational outreach about the importance of mammography and early detection to medically under-served communities of women and psychosocial support services that address the broad range of issues facing breast cancer patients, survivors, spouses, families, and friends.
Ellen's Run
Ellen's Run is both the fundraising vehicle for the Foundation and an annual 5k (3.1-mile) race. An innovative, grassroots event, the Run has gone far toward meeting the Foundation’s goals. Held on the East End of Long Island, where breast cancer diagnosis and mortality rates are among the highest in the state, Ellen’s Run draws on the strength of the local community and gives back to the community, in the form of local projects, the bulk of the money raised. |
