A Community United Against Cancer

The UCI Anti-Cancer Challenge is a community movement that raises awareness and funds for critical cancer research. Participant-raised dollars support pilot studies and early-phase clinical trials at the UCI Health Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, with a portion supporting pediatric cancer research through CHOC, part of Rady Children’s Health.

This year marks the Challenge’s 10-year anniversary. Hotel FERA is honored to support the effort and help bring greater visibility to the researchers, participants, families and supporters moving this work forward.

 

Challenge Day – Saturday, October 10
