Mission
We are passionate, visionary and tenacious volunteers dedicated to the Cancer Challenge mission; to advocate and support world-class cancer care in Northwest Arkansas. We are committed to cancer prevention & education; early detection & treatment, navigation and support; and survivorship initiatives. We are a non-profit organization who has been caring for the community of Northwest Arkansas for over 18 years.
The Cancer Challenge was founded in 1994 and in its first year raised $100,000. Since then the event has grown in size and impact on Northwest Arkansas and strives to raise $750,000 in 2011. To date, over $8.3 million dollars have been gifted back to our community to support much needed cancer services and programs.
