Cancer Families Step Up to Fundraise for ISF Virtual 5K Event
Cancer Families Step Up to Fundraise for ISF Virtual 5K Event
Every year, our 5K event is a big celebration in honor of the kids we fight for and in memory of those we lost. It’s a morning full of hope and inspiration, but the thing we missed most this year was getting to see the faces of all our cancer kids and their families. But that is why we went virtual right?… to protect them!
Since we couldn’t host our event in person, peer-to-peer fundraising was more crucial than ever. We are so appreciative of the cancer families who stepped up to fundraise on behalf of ISF, in honor of their little fighters. These teams truly understand that our event is much more than an exciting morning, full of food and fun, but truly a way to make an impact on kids fighting cancer. Without their determination, our event would not have been as successful as it was. Their fundraising efforts went above and beyond during a time when we needed it most. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
