Join us as we continue on the path to a cure.
The first Saturday in May brings us together- warriors, families, caregivers, healthcare professionals, walkers across Arkansas and other states, volunteers and schools to beat cancer at Be A Part of the Cure Walk. Our paths and journeys unite to eradicate this disease. This past walk we were 1700 strong and raised over $470,000. We continue to grow each year, getting the message out stronger in raising awareness, encouraging screenings, promoting healthy lifestyles and funding research. Research continues to be the path to the cure and better treatments for people diagnosed with cancer.
The Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute continues to be committed to providing outstanding cancer care, including the largest portfolio of cancer clinical trials for all cancers and leading cancer research in the only academic center in Arkansas. There is still much work and research to be done to achieve our ultimate goal of eliminating cancer.
Thank you ALL for your consideration in supporting Be A Part of the Cure Walk’s mission and for helping us to get the word out. The event is to honor and remember our loved ones, educate on resources available throughout the state and to advocate for research. We can not do it without each and every one of you. Please consider supporting Be A Part of the Cure Walk on May 2, 2026 at War Memorial Stadium and join in the strong and dedicated voices fighting cancer. You make a difference in this fight!
Join us as we continue on the path to a cure.
Fondly,
