Overview

Mission

The organization's mission is to benefit metastatic breast cancer research in memory of megan a. Lally by holding fundraising events including a signature run like an antelope running event.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our 2024 200 mile running event and related fundraising was back for the fourth straight year after we missed the 2020 year due to covid-19. Our event was a huge success raising $55,000. That fundraising will enable us to make a great 2025 donation for breast cancer research and patient support. That wouldn't be possible without these efforts and fundraising.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
