Join us for the 20th annual Brains Together Event, featuring a 2-Mile Walk and 5K Chip-Timed Run, Silent Auction, and more on October 3, 2026, in Rochester, MN.

Let’s come together to raise awareness, spread hope, and honor our loved ones affected by brain tumors. This family-friendly event offers a unique opportunity to connect with others while providing a sense of community and support for those impacted by brain tumors. It’s a chance to meet others, share stories, and build lasting connections, all while participating in a meaningful cause.

The event will feature fun activities like balloon art, a silent auction, and a bounce house for the whole family. Proceeds will fund brain tumor research at Mayo Clinic, supporting vital advancements in understanding and treating brain tumors.
