Virtual, small group or large group runs have all been effective ways to grow this community, raise awareness, and fundraise for better research. Runs allow for participation at a very low price and we believe more people connected to our mission will ultimately benefit young people with cancer. Volunteers can work on committees, or simply commit to helping out on the day of the event.
This Gala held in February has been successful as an in-person dinner and auction as well as a virtual event and typically raises between $250K and $350K for childhood and adolescent cancer research.
