The Dolphins Cancer Challenge XV (DCC XV) is a powerful event where our SebastianStrong team rallies to make a difference for children battling cancer. On February 22, 2025, we’ll come together to ride, run, or walk to advance life-saving research and bring hope to families facing childhood cancer.

 

Raise Awareness: By joining us for DCC XV, you’re helping to highlight the urgent need for increased funding and innovative research to fight childhood cancer.

 

Fundraise for Life-Saving Research: Every dollar raised through the SebastianStrong team supports groundbreaking research to develop more effective and less toxic treatments for kids with cancer.

 

Join the Movement: Together, we can make a lasting impact. Whether you’re participating, fundraising, or spreading the word, your involvement honors Sebastian’s legacy and fuels the fight against childhood cancer. Let’s unite to create a future where no child fights alone.

Why SebastianStrong QGiv Events.png

SebastianStrong was created to honor the life of Sebastian, who faced his battle with pediatric cancer with unparalleled bravery and positivity. Despite enduring 32 rounds of chemotherapy, 23 rounds of radiation, and 4 surgeries, Sebastian never lost hope or his fighting spirit. 

 

WE FUND INNOVATIVE RESEARCH FOR CHILDHOOD CANCERS.

 

1.pngDiscovery Science: At SebastianStrong, we believe in the power of discovery science. We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization focused on innovative research and trials that push the boundaries of what's possible in childhood cancer treatment. By fundraising for us, you're directly contributing to the development of less toxic, more targeted treatments and cures.

2.pngCollaborative Spirit: We pride ourselves on collaboration. When you create a fundraiser for SebastianStrong, you join a network of passionate individuals and organizations dedicated to eradicating childhood cancer. Together, we can drive the change we want to see in the world.

Whatever you choose, we're here to support your efforts every step of the way.

5.pngPowerful Partnerships: SebastianStrong has partnered with esteemed institutions such as the University of Miami's Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Miami Dolphins, InterMiami CF, and Major League Soccer. Your fundraiser will amplify these partnerships, accelerating progress in childhood cancer research.

7.pngNational Reach: Although we're headquartered in Miami, our reach extends far beyond. With over $4 million in direct research funding committed to leading childhood cancer research institutions across the nation, we are making waves in the fight against childhood cancer on a national scale.

Untitled design (54).pngKids Deserve Better: At the core of our mission is a simple, powerful belief: KIDS DESERVE BETTER.
