More than 900 participants gathered at Seattle’s Seward Park on July 13, 2025, for the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance (OCRA) Rivkin Family SummeRun. Now in its 32nd year, the beloved 5K run/walk brought together survivors, families, friends, and supporters—all united in the mission to end ovarian cancer.

This year’s event raised more than $320,000 to support the next round of Rivkin Pilot Grants, which pave the way for innovative breakthroughs across all areas of ovarian cancer research.

Founded by Dr. Saul Rivkin in memory of his wife Marsha, the SummeRun has raised more than $10 million for ovarian cancer research. Dr. Rivkin’s daughter, Melissa Rivkin, carries this legacy forward as a dedicated member of OCRA’s Board of Directors.
