This inspiring event brings together families, friends, and supporters to honor the legacy of Susan Zabransky Hughes, while also raising critical funds for cancer research.

Since its inception in 2012, the Susan Zabransky Hughes Memorial 5K has become a beacon of hope for many, raising essential support for initiatives that touch the lives of patients and their families. The event honors Susan Zabransky Hughes, who lost her battle with cervical cancer in July 2011, and continues to uphold her memory by funding impactful programs and advancements in cancer treatment and support.

Fueling Cervical Cancer Research in 2025

The Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI) is a world-class institution committed to transforming scientific discoveries into medical breakthroughs. Proceeds from this year's race will again support CDI's Cervical Cancer Research Program, which is focused on developing new diagnostic technologies and treatment solutions for women battling cervical cancer.

This vital funding will help purchase life-saving equipment and support the expansion of advanced technologies needed to detect and treat cervical cancer earlier and more effectively. By participating in this event, community members directly contribute to the fight against cancer and help provide hope to those who need it most.

Join Us In Supporting This Important Cause

At Park Ave BMW, we're more than just a dealership - we're your neighbors, your friends, and your partners in creating a better tomorrow. Supporting the Susan Zabransky Hughes Memorial 5K aligns perfectly with our mission to uplift our community and stand by organizations making a real difference.

We invite you to join us on Saturday, April 26, 2025, for a day filled with unity, purpose, and inspiration. Whether you walk, run, donate, or simply come to show support, your participation helps make a lasting impact.

Making A Difference In The Community 

Thanks to the continued generosity of sponsors, donors, and participants, this annual event has achieved remarkable milestones. Some of the organizations past accomplishments include: 

  • Kyle's Teen Lounge at Hackensack Meridian Joseph M. Sanzari Children's Hospital, built in memory of Kyle Egan, a Saddle River resident who passed away in 2019 at the age of 17 after a courageous fight with osteosarcoma. This lounge provides young patients undergoing treatment with a relaxing space to socialize and escape the stresses of hospital life.
  • Susan's Suite, a 10-bed inpatient unit for cancer patients in the Emergency and Trauma Center at Hackensack University Medical Center, offering dedicated care in a comforting environment.
  • The Susan Zabransky Hughes Memorial Scholarship at the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine, which has already supported the education of two aspiring medical students committed to making a difference in the world of healthcare.
  • Pediatric respite support through sponsorship of camp sessions at Pony Power Therapies in Mahwah, giving children in need of a break from medical treatments the chance to enjoy healing through horses and nature.
  • The backing of groundbreaking research, including a clinical trial led by Dr. Katharine Offer, targeting treatment for adolescent and young adult patients battling relapsed pulmonary osteosarcoma.


Park Ave BMW is proud to support causes that matter. We thank the Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation and The Run for Sue Committee for their unwavering dedication to this meaningful event.
