Runway To a Cure

Donation Goal: $10,000

Runway to a Cure is a unique 5K held on the runway at Skydive Chicago, created to turn one survivor’s gratitude into meaningful action. Every dollar raised supports vital cancer research, helping advance treatments, improve outcomes, and bring hope to families facing cancer today.

Your generosity honors those we love, supports those still fighting, and moves us one step closer to a cure.

Here’s how you can be part of the movement:

  • Become a Fundraiser - Create your own fundraising page and invite your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors to join you in supporting the cause. Share why this matters to you; your story is powerful, and people give because they care about you.

  • Ask. Share. Inspire.- Post your fundraising link on social media. Send a quick text. Email your circle. A simple ask can make a huge impact. When our community rallies together, small donations quickly turn into meaningful change.

  • Make a Donation - Not ready to fundraise? Every gift — no matter the size — moves us forward. Give in honor of someone you love, in memory of someone you miss, or simply to stand with those still fighting.
