Rally Against Leukemia 2025
About Rally Against Leukemia 2025
Get Informed
It’s become apparent many people do now know the history and origins of RAL – Racing Against Leukemia. In short, this is a cause that began in the 1990’s when one of our racing family was diagnosed with childhood leukemia. Ever since then, our region has raised funds and donated them to the UMass Memorial Foundation for cancer research.
Read the history of RAL here.
Every one of us has been touched by cancer. Every one. Cancer is something we can all relate to.
Get Involved
RoadRally will donate all surplus proceeds from its summer Game-Tour-Adventure event to the cause.
Start Working
RAL is at heart a fundraiser event. We need everyone in NER to get involved. This can be done in multiple ways.
- Donate goods or services for the raffle
- Organize a fundraising challenge – an iRacing event, etc.
- Be the point person for your class, race group, specialty to lead a fundraising goal
- Research if your employer will do corporate gift matches
- Come up with your own fundraising idea!
The bottom line is, if we want RAL to continue to be the charitable outreach of the New England Region, this is the year we have to step up and re-invigorate it to make it happen.
