Dolphins Cancer Challenge 2016 Save The Date 

The Miami Dolphins will hold the 6th Annual Dolphins Cancer Challenge (DCC) on February 20, 2016.

On February 20, 2016, all routes for DCC VI will lead to Sun Life Stadium. Participants can choose between seven options: from a 5k walk/run to rides 13-100 miles. In addition, there are volunteer opportunities available for anyone who interested in being a cancer fighter.

The DCC will culminate in a Finish Line Celebration with Grammy-Award winners Sheryl Crow and Melissa Etheridge to headline the festivities at Sun Life Stadium. The concert will be a celebration of DCC participants’ hard work and fundraising efforts for cancer research. All members of the community are invited to join in the celebration.

The DCC is dedicated to improving people’s lives through the financial support of innovative cancer research at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. This is done through a fun, safe and exceptional bike ride with routes in Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale and Miami and 5k run/walk at Sun Life Stadium, with 100% of participant-raised funds going directly to Sylvester. Founded by the Miami Dolphins in 2010, the DCC has already raised more than $11 million for cancer research in the South Florida community.

More information on all of the activities associated with the DCC, along with fundraising requirements for each event and information on the concert, including purchasing tickets, can be found at DolphinsCancerChallenge.com.

The Dolphins Cancer Challenge (DCC) was founded in 2010 by the Miami Dolphins organization as the signature initiative of the Foundation’s health pillar. In part inspired by Dolphins alumnus and long-time radio voice Jim “Mad Dog” Mandich’s courageous battle with cancer, the DCC’s mission is to improve people’s lives through financial support for innovative cancer research at South Florida’s only academic-based cancer center –Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami. Since its inception, the DCC has raised over $11.55 million, donating 100% of participant-raised funds to Sylvester. Every person, fan and age can fight cancer!
