Purpose of the BUDDY'S Race

Make an Online Contribution

Staff members prepare for an upcoming cancer outreach visit.

"Thompson's Outreach Services has played an integral role in our ability to provide comprehensive healthcare to our patients. Each month, they provide on-site mammograms to our patients at an affordable price...these mammograms have provided early detection of possible cancerous lumps to some patients and peace of mind to others."

--Interfaith Health Clinic
Knoxville

Mobile mammography services are one of the cancer screenings funded by BUDDY’S Race proceeds.

"Thank you for your continued support in helping to bring Cancer Outreach Services to the people of Clinton, Norris and Anderson County...You have provided not only a valuable service to our community, but have done so with a spirit of personal service."

--Clinton Physical Therapy Center

How are the funds from BUDDY'S Race Against Cancer used?

Money from the BUDDY'S Race Against Cancer allows Thompson Cancer Survival Center to provide cancer services to communities with big needs and little opportunities. For nearly two decades, TCSC has delivered much-needed cancer screenings and education to thousands of medically-underserved individuals throughout East Tennessee.

Mobile mammography, as well as prostate and cervical cancer screenings and education are provided to the individuals in communities throughout the area who have never received - or could afford - these potentially life-saving services.

All proceeds raised by BUDDY'S Race Against Cancer are used to support Cancer Outreach Services.

Money from the race is collected by individuals and teams through participation and fundraising, and raised through grants, as well as corporate and individual sponsorships. This year's goal is $420,000.
