UCI Anti-Cancer Challenge : event summary
The UC Irvine Anti-Cancer Challenge is a community fundraiser that raises awareness and funds for cancer research at the UCI Health Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and CHOC, part of Rady Children’s Health. The event is organized by the University of California, Irvine Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
The event day includes a family friendly festival with food and live music. The Challenge is not a timed race; it is a community-dedicated fundraiser focused on supporting research. Participant-raised dollars fund pilot studies and early phase clinical trials, and the projects supported are announced the following year. A portion of proceeds is dedicated to pediatric cancer research through the partnership with CHOC.
Date and location The event takes place on Saturday, Oct. 10, 2026, on the UC Irvine campus.
