Use of Funds

Each year, more than 30,000 Hoosiers are diagnosed with cancer. Proceeds from this event will benefit St. Vincent Cancer Care and support those in our community who have been affected by cancer.

100% of all funds raised by participants makes a difference for those facing cancer by making these programs and services possible:

• Digital Tomosynthesis: This revolutionary 3D diagnostic imaging technology can detect breast cancer earlier and help save lives.
• Art Therapy: Art therapy is available to those being treated as inpatients or in the outpatients setting, as well as survivors.
• Mobile Screening Van: A second mobile screening van now is available, allowing us to double the number of people who have access to free or low cost screenings.
• ….and more!

Team Captains:
You've got your team and your sneakers ready to go. Now what? GET YOUR TEAM MOVING! Below, please find some quick tips to help motivate your team and get everyone excited for the Cancer Challenge!

• Set a Team Goal. Setting a team goal is the first step to success and helps get everyone rallied around a common purpose. Make sure that everyone on your team knows what the team goal is and how they can contribute to helping achieve it.
• Send emails to your team. This not only helps you track how your teammates are doing on their fundraising goals but you can also share encouragement, news and plan fundraising events to help your team reach (or exceed) your goal.
• Get social. Encourage your teammates to post updates and ask for support on Facebook and other social media sites. Be sure they're sharing statuses and raising awareness of team fundraising activities!

Do I have to raise a minimum amount of money to participate in the Run/Walk? No, you do not have to raise a minimum amount. The minimum requirement is to pay your registration fee. Any additional fundraising directly benefits the patients and families served at St. Vincent Cancer Care.

What is a Super Champion fundraiser? Participants who raise $1,000 or more, or teams who raise $1,000 or more per number of team members (for example, $5,000 for a team of 5), earn the special distinction of being a Super Champion fundraiser.

Does my registration fee apply to my fundraising goal? No, your registration fee does not apply to your fundraising goal.

If I can’t attend the event, can I still fundraise? Yes! You can set up your own fundraising page by registering as a Hope Champion if you cannot walk or run at the event. You can raise money online or mail in donations. 100% of your generous support will go toward your goal and our fight against cancer at St. Vincent!

Do I have to be on a team? No, you can register as an individual, start a team, or join a team.

Can members of my team choose to either run or walk? Yes, different members of the same team can choose to either run or walk.
