Why participate?
Launched in 1999, the UMass Cancer Walk has become one of the region’s largest and most celebrated one-day fundraising events, bringing together thousands of individuals each year to recognize and honor their collective impact. The event directly supports cancer research, care and clinical trials at UMass Chan.
How your support makes a difference
Your fundraising efforts play an essential role in supporting researchers and physician-scientists at UMass Chan. Through your commitment, they can pursue critical research and clinical trials with the potential to improve—and even transform—the lives of people affected by cancer. The funds you raise will help advance innovative cancer therapies and treatments, offering hope to those who need it most.
