Join Us For
Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer® Detroit, Michigan
February 12, 2026, at the Rink at Campus Martius Park 
 

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. 

CARES is proud to partner with the Downtown Detroit Partnership to present the 8th Annual Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer® Detroit!  Proceeds from this event will support CARES' national cancer research and our healthcare partners here in Michigan, the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute. 
 

Here's How You Can Get Involved!
 
Participate and Fundraise
