Swim for a Purpose
Whether you’re an experienced swimmer or just want to wade through the water, there are options for everyone! This exciting event features three swim distances: a half-mile, a one-mile, and a two-mile course. So gather your family, friends, or coworkers and dive in to support cancer research and patient care.
How You Can Get Involved

Every dollar raised goes a long way in helping local beneficiaries like the Levine Cancer Institute and Levine Children’s Hospital. Your contributions help fund groundbreaking cancer clinical trials and provide crucial resources for patients and their families in our community.
