Brought to you by Beats for a Cure:
Beats for a Cure is a non-profit organization that uses music to raise funds to fight various types of cancers. The initial goal was to aid breast cancer research and support, but has grown to assist not only breast cancer, but prostate, multiple myeloma, and for this event, childhood cancer.
Get a chance to run through the Asian Lantern Festival at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and raise funds that will go to University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children Hospital. With your support we can help find a cure. Beats for a Cure: Battling Cancer Through Music. https://www.beatsforacure.org/
When you register you are given the option to become of a fundraiser or create/join a fundraising team. We will be giving a prize to the top fundraiser.
