UNC SNDA Oral Cancer 5K Run/Walk

Join the UNC Student National Dental Association in the annual Oral Cancer 5K Run/Walk on Sunday April 6th, 2025 at 7:30AM!

In honor of UNC Adam’s School of Dentistry’s very own oral cancer survivor, Dr. Scott Eidson, all proceeds will be donated to Dr. Aimin Peng's research lab within ASOD which primarily focuses on oral cancer and DNA repair. Dr. Peng's research plays a critical role in exploring innovative therapeutic strategies that could significantly improve the treatment outcomes for oral cancer patients. 

Your support - whether by signing up and running, donating, or both - has such an important impact on advancing research about oral cancer. Thank you for being a part of the solution today!
