It’s more than the laps around the quad, more than the 12 hours of dancing, more than the tug of war competitions — it’s what we give back.

Of the more than 1,000 cancer programs in the U.S., only 57 are NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers — recognized for the highest standards of expertise and leadership for cancer research, prevention, and patient care. We’re proud to partner with one of them.

Right in our backyard, the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center is among the top 5% of cancer centers nationally and the only NCI-designated center in Western North Carolina. Before heading off for break, student leaders who serve across the Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund had the chance to visit the hospital where all the money we raise goes and learn about the clinical research benefiting from all of our running, dancing, and endless efforts over the past 35 years.

It was a full-circle moment, presenting the Chicago Bears Brian Piccolo Jersey we announced at October’s Hit the Bricks — signed by head football coach Jake Dickert, All-American and recently drafted Minnesota Vikings running back Demond Claiborne, and Traci and Joy Piccolo. And it was a day we won’t forget.

For #41.

We’re not ready for nights like this to end. We’re just not. 😭

Late Night Breakfast was our last tradition of the year with the people we’re going to miss the most. And we’re feeling ALL the feels. *sigh*

KP X MAGIC JOHNSON.

Just a kid from Lansing, Michigan and a kid from Richmond, VA living out the dream. The latest portrait from our partnership collection with Kyan Patel, honors basketball icon, @magicjohnson. Johnson was the season finale speaker at last night’s @facetofacewfu. The forum is regarded as one of the country’s finest platforms for distinguished and engaging discussions with some of the nation’s most storied names.

This might be our favorite one yet.
