Cancer may be the common denominator, but it is not the defining attribute. Mary’s Place offers a safe place for women to share experiences with others on a similar path.

14th Annual Walk-a-thon & 7th Annual 5K Run  (click here to register)

Join us Saturday, October 18th, 2025, on Ocean Pathway in Ocean Grove, New Jersey, as we walk, run, dance, and celebrate in support of the incredible women of Mary’s Place by the Sea.

In addition to our cherished vendor market, we’re excited to introduce an expanded lineup of food vendors and food trucks. And the celebration wouldn’t be complete without live music from our dear friends, the Pat Roddy Band!

So lace up your sneakers, grab your water bottles, and join us for a joyful day of community, compassion, and celebration. We can’t wait to welcome you this October!

This event is rain or shine!

On Monday, June 30th, we gathered with friends, supporters, and golf enthusiasts for our 5th Annual Swing for the Soul Golf Outing at the beautiful Deal Golf and Country Club — and what a day it was!

We’re thrilled to share that this year’s event was sold out and raised over $125,000 in support of our mission at Mary’s Place by the Sea — a 78% increase from last year’s outing. We are blown away by the generosity, energy, and enthusiasm of everyone who made this day such a tremendous success.

Thank you! Read more.

Love notes from our guests

Nettie, laughing in a rocking chair on the porch of Mary's Place.

Mary’s Place by the Sea was a refuge. It's a place where you can retreat from the world and all the worries, cares and responsibilities. It's a place where I learned how to let others take care of me and where I learned how to take care of myself.
