5th Anniversary Love for Runway, Newburyport
2026-06-11 18:30 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Inn Street Newburyport, Newburyport, MA
Join us for an unforgettable evening as Love for Runway returns to Newburyport—bringing together a powerful community of supporters, families, and local businesses in honor of those impacted by breast cancer.
Over the years, Love for Runway Newburyport has grown into a meaningful tradition—one rooted in storytelling, connection, and collective impact. This year’s event will once again gather our community along the waterfront for a night that is both celebratory and deeply inspiring.
The evening will feature a moving program of speakers, including a return of past voices who have helped shape this event, alongside new stories that continue to expand its impact. This year’s speakers include:
Marci Eiserman, Shauna Epstein, Alissa Christie, Renee Plozdik, Julie Clemente, Amy Burke, Alivia Collette, and Lori Levans, with additional speakers to be announced.
Guests will also enjoy a “Taste of Newburyport,” where some of the area’s most beloved restaurants will offer curated small bites—creating a unique culinary experience and a perfect way to discover local favorites for the summer ahead. We are so excited to announce that the participating restaurants will be: Brine Oyster Bar, Bar25, The Poynt Newburyport, Port Vida a Mexican Cantina, and Paddle Inn. The cocktails and drinks for the night will be hosted by Bubble Bar Amesbury.
Throughout the weeks leading up to and following the event, Newburyport businesses will rally in support of Runway for Recovery—hosting special promotions, donating a portion of proceeds, and creating opportunities to give back to families facing metastatic breast cancer.
We are proud to celebrate the continued growth of this event and the community that makes it possible. Proceeds from the evening directly support families in treatment, helping to relieve financial burdens so they can focus on what matters most.
We hope you will join us for this special evening of community, purpose, and impact. Tickets are now on sale for our VIP and General Admissions options.
