A Legacy of Love and Impact đź’ś
Over the past 22 years, the Climb for Cancer Foundation has raised almost $4 million to support cancer patients and their families. Every dollar, every event, every climb happened because of you—our incredible community of donors, volunteers, and friends who gave, organized fundraisers, shared our story, and climbed right alongside us.
Together, we’ve scaled mountains—literally:
• 8 teams, 99 climbers summited Mount Kilimanjaro
• Co-founder Ron Farb climbed Everest, raising almost $200,000, plus Aconcagua (twice), Mt. Elbrus, Kilimanjaro (seven times), and more—turning every ascent into hope
Here at home, you built beloved traditions:
• 12 Hogtown 5K Beer Runs – $327K+ raised
• 4 Gator Mountain Challenges – $72K raised
• 3 El Swampitan climbs – $35K raised
…and countless galas, races, and adventure trips.
Because of you, families received gas cards, food vouchers, lodging, Uber rides, Butterfly Rainforest tickets, fertility preservation services, scholarships, and 17 free annual sports camps for kids with cancer and their siblings.
This chapter closes, but our pages—and our gratitude—remain. 💛
👉 We’ll keep this page live to honor the memories, celebrate the impact, and share how the Climb for Cancer Endowment continues helping families for years to come.
And your support does not need to end here. After September 30, you can continue to support the Climb for Cancer Foundation Endowment by clicking this link and giving directly to the University of Florida Foundation.
