Purpose: FUN! And to help in the fight against kidney cancer! This year we want to raise $73,820 (one dollar for each new person diagnosed with kidney cancer in the United States) to fund research scholarships to help attract some of the brightest young minds in Minnesota to pursue a career in kidney cancer and present their findings at national meetings. Our goal is to have 738 participants register and we will get a $5,000 donation from an anonymous donor. Each registered person represents 100 patients diagnosed in the US each year FAQ
