WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
Capital Region Special Surgery founded this event and underwrites all costs associated with the execution of this 5K to enable 100% of all registration fees, donations, and corporate sponsorship monies to go toward fundraising.

Two beneficiaries are:
o   Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Capital Region
o   Patient Services* at St. Peter’s Cancer Care Center

*We established a new fund (managed through St. Peter’s Hospital Foundation) for under-insured and uninsured patients to receive any/all of the following:

· Antiemetic (anti-nausea) medication
· Nutrional supplements
· Pain medication
· Gas cards, grocery cards, and help with items such as school supplies for children of parents in treatment
