Join us for Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer® Des Moines, Iowa
February 28, 2026, 9-11am at the Brenton Skating Plaza in Downtown Des Moines
 

Cancer knows no boundaries, no gender, no age, no race. It touches every family and every community. In 2026 alone, more than 2.1 million Americans will hear the words “you have cancer,” a 3.5% increase from the year before. And 626,140 lives will be lost - that’s more than one person every minute. Behind every number is a face, a family, and a future forever changed. 

The City of Des Moines is proud to partner with the Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation (CARES) to present Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer®!  Proceeds from this event will support CARES' national cancer research.
