Mission
We are passionate, visionary and tenacious volunteers dedicated to the Cancer Challenge mission; to raise funds to support programs and services designed around the early detection, prevention, diagnosis, research and treatment of cancer. We are a non-profit organization who has been caring for the community of Northwest Arkansas for fifteen 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 $1,000,000 in 2008. To date, over $7.5 million dollars have been gifted back to our community to support much needed cancer services and programs. However, the growing demand for support has exceeded our funds thus the reason for our million dollar dream.
