Cancer Chomp will take place from 8 am to 11 am on Saturday, September 28th at the Cancer & Genetics Research Complex on the beautiful University of Florida campus located in Gainesville, FL. This event will include a 5K run/walk, Kid Zone, charitable organizations, community vendors, mini therapy horses, the UF Gator Mascots, the UF Gator Band, and more.

Any proceeds from this event will go to support our patients and their families receiving brain tumor treatment at UF Health in Gainesville, FL. Such support includes (but is not limited to) lodging assistance, gas cards, help with medication copays, and the purchase of medical equipment not covered by a patient’s insurance. The event is free to attend though there is a small fee to participate in the 5k run/walk.
