Bounce Back from Cancer™ is a partnership between Baptist Health Foundation and the Miami HEAT that raises critical funds for lifesaving cancer research and clinical trials at Baptist Health Herbert Wertheim Cancer Institute. Since its inception, the event has raised more than $23 million, becoming one of South Florida's most impactful community fundraising events and the Miami HEAT's largest cancer fundraiser.
You can get involved in Bounce Back from Cancer by becoming a sponsor, registering and fundraising, making a donation or inviting family, friends and colleagues to support you on a fun-filled day in support of a world without cancer.
Unlike a race, Bounce Back from Cancer is a community walk designed for participants of all ages and fitness levels. Everyone begins the journey together and celebrates together at the finish line.
To participate, individuals commit to a fundraising minimum and select from three course options, each ending at Kaseya Center. There, participants gather for an unforgettable Finish Line Celebration honoring survivors, remembering loved ones and recognizing the impact of every dollar raised in support of cancer research and clinical trials.
Whether you're walking in honor of someone you love, in memory of someone you've lost or simply to make a difference, every step, every dribble and every dollar raised helps move the ball forward in the fight against cancer.
