Victory Ride
The Victory Ride to Cure Cancer features ways for everyone to participate as we come together as one community with one goal: Victory Over Cancer®.
Since the Victory Ride’s inception, together, we’ve raised more than $1.3 million to fund the nation’s best scientists working on the most promising projects to bring earlier detection, more personalized therapies, and ultimately more time with loved ones. Yet we still have more work to do, and we can’t do it riding solo. Will you join us?
Run For Team V
Team V is the V Foundation’s official endurance training program. When you participate in a marathon or other endurance event to raise money for the V Foundation, you receive support from expert fundraising and training coaches.
You can join one of our official Team V events, or simply run on your own…anywhere, anytime, in any sanctioned event. Pick a marathon and run for Team V! From the couch to the finish line, we’ve got your back!
Fundraise For the V
Hosting your own fundraiser is a memorable and rewarding way to support the V Foundation for Cancer Research. You can plan a golf outing, host a party or start a walk in your community. Whatever you choose, our DIY Team is here to help.
