What if the activity you already love could help fund lifesaving research for kids with cancer?
With St. Baldrick’s Athletic Fundraisers, you can turn your passion into purpose—raising funds for childhood cancer research while doing what you’re already doing.

Run. Walk. Bike. Play. Lift.

Whether you’re training for a race, playing on a team, or simply staying active, you can make an impact.

How It Works

Getting started is simple:

1. Choose your activity
From running and cycling to team sports and fitness challenges—however you move, it counts.

Left image: Group fitness class with diverse participants in a bright studio. Right image: Three people and a child in a stroller at a charity event, all wearing matching blue "Reasons to Run" shirts and medals, smiling joyfully.

2. Fundraise
Set up your individual or group fundraising page and share it with your friends, family, and community.

3. Make an impact
Every dollar raised helps fund research to find cures and better treatments for all childhood cancers.

Another group stands proudly in basketball uniforms, displaying medals and holding basketballs, in front of a St. Baldrick's Foundation banner. The mood is joyful and triumphant in both settings.

Why It Matters

When you turn your activity into a fundraiser, you’re doing more than moving—you’re helping kids:

  • Survive their diagnosis
  • Grow up and thrive
  • Get back to the moments that matter most

Because kids with cancer shouldn’t have to sit on the sidelines.
They should be running, playing, and chasing their dreams.
