Event Information
Join us on sample date
January 23, 2026, at The Ribbon at Glass City Metropark
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 Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation (CARES) is proud to partner with the Glass City Metropark to present Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer®! Proceeds from this event will support CARES' national cancer research and our healthcare partners at Nationwide Children's Hospital - Toledo.
