2025 New England 3-Day Top Fundraisers

2025 New England 3-Day Celebration of Champions

The 2025 Susan G. Komen New England 3-Day^® was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks in large part to our top fundraisers. This year, 930 dedicated walkers and crew members raised $2.4 million for breast cancer research, community health, patient care and advocacy.

At our Celebration of Champions, generously supported by our national presenting sponsor Bank of America, we honored the individuals and teams whose dedication went above and beyond. This year, Bank of America donated over $33,000 to help our top fundraisers kick off their 2026 3-Day fundraising efforts.

From first-time walkers to seasoned crew, these champions brought the energy, passion and dedication that define what the 3-Day is all about.

Kristin S. was honored as Top Crew Fundraiser, raising more than $9,000. Her dedication reflects the commitment our crew members bring to the 3-Day both on and off the route.

“For 18 years, she’s laced up her shoes, braved the heat, battled blisters, and walked thousands of miles for a world without breast cancer — a mission that became deeply personal when her mom was diagnosed more than 20 years ago,” Toni shared.

Karen brings courage, grit and grace to every 3-Day mile she walks. She’s a dedicated leader of the No Mercy for Breast Cancer Team, a compassionate coach and a motivating force who inspires everyone around her to go the extra mile.

“Her strength, compassion, and tireless energy bring hope to so many,” Toni added. “She’s the hug when you’re tired, the pep talk when you’re doubting and the reminder of why we’re here: to save lives, to protect the next generation and to end breast cancer.”

Karen’s commitment, leadership and heart have made a lasting impact in the 3-Day community.

Congratulations, Karen! You are so deeply appreciated.

New England Crew Impact Award Winner: Kirstin B.

This year at the 2025 Susan G. Komen New England 3-Day®, we were proud to present Kirstin B. with the Crew Impact Award, honoring her for being a stellar example of dedication, compassion and leadership within the Pink Bubble community.

Kirstin’s 3-Day journey began when she was just 15, walking in memory of her godmother who passed away from breast cancer. In 2016, she joined the medical crew as an emergency medical technician at the Philadelphia 3-Day.

Since then, Kirstin has become a vital part of the 3-Day medical crew. Now a registered nurse, she has volunteered at all 3-Day events since 2022, except for San Diego where she walks as a participant. Kirstin has participated in 28 3-Day events and raised more than $26,000. We are overwhelmingly grateful for the love and dedication Kirstin pours into the 3-Day family.

Meghan D., a fellow medical crew member, honored Kirstin on stage during the New England 3-Day’s Celebration of Champions.

“Amid the chaos, she is a calm, steady presence navigating challenges, coordinating care and making sure every participant feels supported,” Meghan said. “Veterans of the 3-Day know Kirstin, not just because she’s been part of more than 25 events, but because she makes it her mission to know them. To connect. To care.”

Whether she’s serving as team leader or medical captain, Kirstin leads with grace and compassion, and we are so grateful for all her selfless efforts.

Congratulations, Kirstin! You are so deeply appreciated.
