Build my planJoin us at our "Lookin' For A Cure Scottsdale 5k"!
Every year, Lookin' For A Cure 5K events light up cities across the United States. These events are not just about running; they are about igniting awareness and unity in the fight against ocular melanoma. By participating, you not only support groundbreaking research but also bring together individuals affected by ocular melanoma.
A Partnership for Progress
A Cure In Sight collaborates with leading research facilities and dedicated physicians specializing in ocular melanoma treatment. Together, we channel the net proceeds from these events into ongoing research projects and patient support programs. Your involvement directly contributes to advancing the quest for a cure.
Your Steps Matter
Come be a part of our Fifth Annual "Lookin' For a Cure" in the serene surroundings of Eldorado Park in Scottsdale. On Sunday, November 8th, from 8 am to 11 am, join A Cure in Sight for a walk or run that goes beyond the scenic beauty. Together, we'll take steps to combat ocular melanoma, a rare eye cancer that affects approximately 3,000 new cases each year across the nation. Bring your friends and family—all ages are welcome to walk or run with us.
Experience Beauty While You Run
Embark on a picturesque journey through Eldorado Park. The race unfolds on a scenic out-and-back course, offering you a unique opportunity to connect with nature while contributing to a noble cause.
