The Why

Your support. Your impact.

Thanks to the incredible commitment of our Bounce Back from Cancer™ community, more than $23.4 million has been raised to support lifesaving cancer research and clinical trials at Baptist Health Herbert Wertheim Cancer Institute.

Together, participants, donors, sponsors, survivors, caregivers and supporters are helping advance innovative research, expand access to promising clinical trials and accelerate discoveries that are shaping the future of cancer care.

The accomplishments highlighted in our 2026 Bounce Back from Cancer™ Accomplishments Report showcase the impact of this collective effort and how the funds raised are helping drive progress across multiple areas of cancer research and treatment.
