Connecticut Breast Health Initiative

The Connecticut Breast Health Initiative, Inc. (CT BHI) makes a significant impact in the quest to find a cure for breast cancer by providing grants to support education and research in Connecticut.

CT BHI is a volunteer run organization that started in 2002 with the goal of supporting doctors and organizations in CT who search for the cure for Breast Cancer.

100% of the money raised by CT BHI stays in CT in support of education and research, funding progressive programs that have yet to qualify for federal grants.

Since 2005 CTBHI has given out over $3.5 million in grants toward the fight against breast cancer through research, support and education.

Our mission is to make a difference locally in the fight against breast cancer through support, education and research.  To accomplish this mission, CT BHI plans on funding a diversified portfolio of clinical/ translational research with emphasis on programs that have not yet qualified for federal grants targeting breast cancer cause and survival.

Through the support of our signature fundraiser, the CT RACE IN THE PARK, the Annual Howard Belkin Memorial Golf Tournament, other events, individual donations and corporate support, the CT BHI will contribute monies this year to programs that aim to fulfill our mission.

The Connecticut RACE IN THE PARK takes place annually each May on the Saturday before Mother’s Day in New Britain’s historic Walnut Hill Park.  This year's RACE will be on Saturday May 11, 2019.
