Lobo Cancer Challenge

Event Overview

The annual Lobo Cancer Challenge community fundraiser helps the UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center to deliver the best cancer care in the world right here in New Mexico. Our generous Event Sponsors make it possible for 100% of every single fundraising dollar raised by our Challengers to go directly to their choice of program in cancer patient care, advanced cancer research, community outreach, or education and training — because no one should have to face cancer alone.
