18 Years Strong: Join Our Legacy of Hope

Join us for the Purdue Challenge on Saturday, April 18 at 7:30 p.m.

Since 2009, the GoldandBlack.com community has been a cornerstone of The Purdue Challenge, standing united in the fight against cancer. For nearly two decades, we've proven that together, we can make a difference.

Cancer touches every corner of our community, which is why we come together each year—not just to raise funds for critical research, but to honor those who continue to inspire us:

• In loving memory of Larry Clisby, Cindy Bouggy, Jon Fricker, Leroy Keyes, Tom Mack, Eugene Parker, Tom Reiter, Dan Scheeres, Laura Shiver, and Lisa Warren—whose legacies fuel our determination.

• In support of those currently battling cancer, including Carrie Ehresman, Larry Lane, Anita McGaughey and Brian Neubert—whose courage motivates us daily.

• In celebration of our survivors like Amy Karpick, Jim Bonk, Pam Faerber, Cuonzo Martin, Dr. Tim Ratliff, and Glenn Sparks—living proof that hope and research save lives.

After 18 years of unwavering support, our GoldandBlack.com family knows the power of collective action. Every dollar brings us closer to a world without cancer.

Help us continue our 18-year tradition of making a difference. Donate to THE CHALLENGE 5K RUN/WALK 2026 today.
