Upstate Strut for Childhood Cancer
The Upstate Strut for Childhood Cancer is a community running and walking event held at Milliken Arboretum. The 2026 Upstate Strut took place on Saturday, September 26, and raised more than $55,000 to support children with cancer and their families.
Participants included runners, walkers, volunteers, sponsors, families, and other supporters who helped raise awareness and funds across the Upstate. Photos from the 2026 race were made available by the organizer.
Proceeds support Children’s Cancer Partners of the Carolinas. The organization provides immediate resources to families to help with hidden costs of childhood cancer, including the cost of gas, lodging, meals, and other essential needs during a child’s treatment.
The 2026 event listed sponsor tiers such as presenting, champion, hope, supporter, and patron; the presenting sponsor was Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System and the champion sponsor was Subaru.
