    This year's event will be held at Homestead Gardens in Smyrna, DE, and will feature family-friendly activities, music, games, food, and more! Mark Brinsky, General Manager of Homestead Gardens Smyrna, shared why the walk means so much to him and the Homestead Gardens Smyrna family. “While Delaware is a small state, we know it is critical to spread the word about the importance of getting checked and to help survivors navigate this disease. The employees from Homestead Gardens feel that the Monster Mile Walk for a Cause on the grounds of Homestead Gardens in Smyrna, Delaware, allows everyone to put aside their daily Saturday schedule and gather as families, neighbors, co-workers, friends, and survivors to help support this cause to defeat breast cancer.”

    All proceeds from the 2025 Monster Mile for a Cause benefit DBCC’s programs that increase breast cancer awareness, promote the importance of early detection, provide access to mammograms, and provide support and resources to men and women in our local community who are newly diagnosed or facing recurrence of breast cancer.

    Walk in honor or memory of someone in your life who has been impacted by breast cancer. Participants are invited to be creative with team names and attire—wear PINK!

In Support of Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition
The Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition (DBCC) is a 501(c)(3) staffed by a combined number of 25 full-time and part-time employees and has an office serving citizens in each of the three counties in Delaware – New Castle, Kent, and Sussex. 

DBCC has developed and implemented programs tailored to the unique needs of different populations, including young women with breast cancer, African-American women, Latinas, lesbians, and women with disabilities. DBCC has trained healthcare providers who implement culturally competent care and has conducted many educational sessions for the general public in partnership with corporate and community organizations.

In addition, DBCC has referred and navigated thousands of uninsured adults for free and low-cost cancer screenings and has removed barriers to cancer screenings and treatment by providing interpretation, transportation, and support services. 

As a member of the National Breast Cancer Coalition, represented on its board of directors, DBCC has worked to support the national organization’s efforts to research the causes of breast cancer and pursue optimal treatments and cures.

The vision of the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition is to create a caring community where barriers to breast cancer screenings are removed and all persons at risk served by DBCC have access to quality care and treatment. DBCC will ensure each individual diagnosed receives resources to become a thriving survivor, armed with the knowledge and support needed to conquer this disease.
