WHO DO THE RACE PROCEEDS BENEFIT?

2025 Guthrie Gallop Beneficiary
Guthrie Cancer Care Fund

Proceeds from the 2024 Guthrie Gallop raised more than $25,000 for Guthrie’s Cancer Care Fund. This fund is designed to help alleviate the many financial burdens that come with a cancer diagnosis—whether it’s arranging payment to heat a home for a patient undergoing chemotherapy or providing gas gift cards to help patients get to and from treatment.

Because of your generosity, Guthrie cancer patients will receive the critical financial assistance they need as they finish their fight against cancer.

RACE CANCELLATION

The Guthrie Cancer Care Fund relies on income from this event to fulfill its mission to provide critical assistance to Guthrie cancer patients facing a financial crisis, therefore, refunds are not available.

All applicable sponsorship benefits will be honored and 100% of your generous sponsorship will benefit the Cancer Care Fund.
