2026 Rochester River Run/Walk 5K

Sun April 19, 2026
Rochester, NY 14620 US

Donation

Transplant Patient Fund

Donation Goal: $10,000

Presented by Friends of Strong Memorial Hospital and the hospital's transplant teams, all proceeds from the Rochester River Run directly benefit transplant patients via our Transplant Patient Fund, which provides supplemental assistance to patients in need.

In addition to costly medical treatment, the need to travel—for some a great distance—adds financial strain on patients and their families.

Your support will help hundreds of patients currently awaiting heart, liver, kidney or pancreas transplants, as well as those who continue to receive follow-up care at Strong. 

Learn more about our transplant programs at urmc.rochester.edu/transplant and, please consider adding your name to the New York State Organ Donor Registry via passlifeon.org. You have the power to save lives!

Cash or check donations may also be made in-person at the Race Registration Tent by 10:30 a.m. on race day, Sunday, April 21 at the Genesee Valley Park Roundhouse Shelter, or mailed to:

Friends of Strong
c/o River Run
601 Elmwood Ave. - BOX 660
Rochester, NY 14642

***Please make checks payable to Friends of Strong Memorial Hospital, and note "River Run" on the memo line. Call 585.275.2420 with any questions.
