About the Father Ryan event
The event will take place at the Jim Carell Alumni Athletic Complex and Giacosa Stadium on Father Ryan’s campus. Caregivers, cancer survivors, and all those affected by cancer will walk the around the track, honoring the fight that so many have endured. Luminaria Bags will line the track in memory of those who have lost their battle with cancer.
Father Ryan High School embarked on their journey to fight cancer over 11 years ago, raising more than $1.54 million in donations. This year the goal is to raise $180,000 toward cancer research. During the event, Relay Teams will be selling baked goods, food, and drinks throughout the day to reach that goal.
Donations can be made up until the end of the event here.
