Join Team Hurricanes and help the Dolphins Challenge Cancer

Riding high after a record-breaking year, the Dolphins Challenge Cancer (DCC) returns for its 13th edition on Saturday, February 25, 2023, to raise funds for cancer research at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

Created in 2010 by the Miami Dolphins, the DCC has since become the largest fundraising event in the NFL, raising nearly $54 million to help Sylvester improve lives and outcomes for those impacted by cancer. Earlier this year, DCC XII brought together an unprecedented 4,484 participants and raised over $8.4 million.

With 100% of participant-raised funds directly benefitting Sylvester, the DCC provides an opportunity for the local community to invest in life-saving cancer research at South Florida’s only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center.

With the support of the community behind it, Sylvester has ascended to new levels of prominence and prestige.  In its most recent rankings, U.S. News and World Report recognized the cancer center as one of the 50 Best Hospitals in the country.

Alumni, friends, and fans of the University are invited to ride with Team Hurricanes and join fellow ’Canes in the fight against cancer.
