Events for Patients and Families

Join us for our 12th Annual Head for the Cure 5K - Seattle as we raise funds, awareness, and hope for the Seattle brain tumor community! Funds raised through this event will locally benefit brain tumor research at UW Medicine - Alvord Brain Tumor Center, Seattle Children's, Brains for the Cure and other national brain cancer programs, education and initiatives.

Join the Craniofacial team for games, food, entertainment and community! Patients, families, faculty and staff are all welcome. Bring your enthusiasm and let's celebrate the season together!

The DQ Miracle Balloon Campaign invites fans to purchase Miracle Balloons for a small donation at the register. Every dollar raised will directly benefit Seattle Children's. The Miracle Balloon Campaign directly precedes Miracle Treat Day, which takes place on July 31, the day following the Miracle Balloon Campaign.

For A Cure NW is hosting the 5th Annual SWING for a CURE charity golf tournament which raises money for Seattle Children’s Hospital’s High-Risk Leukemia Lymphoma Program.

The event will be held on August 23 at Legion Memorial Golf Course in Everett, WA. Check-in starts at 10:30 a.m., with pre-scramble contests to follow, shotgun start at 1 p.m., with lunch and dinner provided.

Since its inception in 2018, donors to this fund have raised more than a million dollars to help pay for consultation services and multi-disciplinary care teams including oncologists, transplant specialists, cardiologists, researchers, pharmacists and nurses essential in treating this devastating disease. Swing for a Cure has contributed over $350,000 to this fund.
