Lookin For A Cure Scottsdale
About this race
Join 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.

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.
