LA Cancer Challenge Teams are at the heart of this beloved Hirshberg Foundation event. Families, friends, co-workers and communities celebrating survivors or honoring the memory of a loved one help make this event so meaningful.
In addition to creating a team and showing your team spirit by wearing a costume or carrying a team sign, here are additional ways to honor a loved one at the LA Cancer Challenge each year.
Wear a Tribute Bib
Visit the Hirshberg Foundation Booth on event morning to fill out a complimentary purple tribute bib to be worn in memory or support of loved ones.
