Pirates Vs. Cancer Details
Pirates Vs. Cancer unites diverse groups behind one common goal: empowering children in our communities and around the world to beat cancer. To date, we have raised over $30,000 in just two short years.Our fundraising model is unique and focuses on maximizing impact for those who truly need it. In past years, 50% of money raised has supported national research while the remaining 50% went to children fighting cancer in our local community. Moving forward, we have made changes to allow 100% of all funds raised to go straight to the kids in our local community hospital who are battling cancer on a daily basis. Not a single dollar comes off the top for administrative expenses, as those funds are raised separately, a fact that we are extremely proud of. Our vision is to be the premier philanthropic event on the ECU Health Sciences Campus by providing a supportive and collaborative environment for interdisciplinary teams to push each other to new heights. By bringing us all together and fostering new relationships, Pirates Vs. Cancer will exponentially increase the number of children we can stand beside in their fights with cancer. Many kids battling cancer lose their hair involuntarily, but the rest of us have a choice. We are choosing to go bald to stand beside them in this fight.
