Strut for Childhood Cancer Race

No Child Should Fight Cancer Alone

Please consider giving a little extra with your race registration, or become a fundraiser, to help children and their families who are navigating childhood cancer.

All proceeds from this race benefit Cape Fear Children supported by Children’s Cancer Partners of the Carolinas (CCP), a nonprofit focused on serving children battling cancer across North Carolina and South Carolina. For 14 years the race was known as The Cardinal Strut benefitting Strut for Kids, a nonprofit serving Wilmington area children and youth on their cancer journey. CCP and Strut for Kids merged in 2023 to provide more comprehensive support to over 100 Cape Fear children more efficiently and effectively.   

Children Cancer Partner's of the Carolinas will in the coming year support more than 2,200 children battling cancer with help that is IMMEDIATE, COMPREHENSIVE, and CONTINUOUS. CCP helps families overcome distance and cost disparities so their child’s care is timely and complete. There is NO CANCER TREATMENT IN CAPE FEAR so families must travel great distances for pediatric oncology care. CCP is committed to supporting these kids and their families from the time of diagnosis, during treatment, and beyond. Through your generous support of this race, families facing childhood cancer can focus on what’s most important: their child’s health.
