Bounce Back from Cancer™

Come join our team and dribble a basketball or make a donation to help raise funds for the Miami Cancer Institute. It sounds crazy, I know! But one in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes. When that happens, you want a team of world-renowned experts delivering the most effective treatments and achieving the best outcomes — and you want it close to home. That’s the goal of Bounce Back from Cancer^TM.  Your participation helps in their quest to build a world without cancer.

What is Bounce Back from Cancer™

We believe a world free from cancer is possible. That’s why we created Bounce Back from Cancer™, a game-changing partnership between The Miami HEAT and Baptist Health Foundation to raise funds for new lifesaving cancer research at Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute.

Baptist Health Foundation is dedicated to inspiring philanthropy to support Baptist Health, a not-for-profit healthcare organization committed to medical excellence and the health, well-being and extraordinary care of our South Florida communities.

Now in its sixth year, Bounce Back from Cancer™ brings our community together on a basketball dribble on a variety of courses through the streets of Miami, to raise critical funds for breakthrough cancer research and clinical trials. Last year’s event raised over $4.1 million dollars. Bounce Back from Cancer™ 2025 promises to be bigger and better than ever, as we shoot for the moon with a goal of $5 million, 2,000 participants and over 8,000 donors. 

You can get involved in Bounce Back from Cancer™ by registering, donating or inviting family, friends and colleagues to support you on a fun-filled day of activities, all to benefit this very important cause.
