Events allow the public to experience the mission of the Huntsman Cancer Institute firsthand.  By recruiting new donors, celebrating major gifts, and honoring a challenge to meet goals through on-air radio-a-thons, marathons, or dance marathons, Huntsman Cancer Foundation events reiterate that everyone can do something!
