What is a Peer-to-Peer Fundraiser?

Examples include:

  • A dance-a-thon supporting the Lacks Cancer Center
  • A marathon team collecting pledges for Hauenstein Neurosciences
  • A company jeans day raising funds for a specific program

Why Purple & Green?

Our colors represent the causes we stand behind:

  • Purple: Cancer and neurodegenerative disease care—strength, remembrance, and healing.
  • Green: Mental health support—growth, renewal, and emotional well-being.

Together, they symbolize our mission to heal body, mind and spirit.
