What is my commitment if I become a Huntsman Hero for LoToJa?

When you sign up as a Huntsman Hero for one of our partner events—including LoToJa—you commit to fundraising either $1,000 (full distance cyclists) or $500 (per relay rider if on a relay team) for Huntsman Cancer Institute. Your fundraising needs to be completed prior to event day. Need help or have fundraising questions? Email Ashley Ryan at [email protected]

Due to the high costs of this event and as part of our partnership with LoToJa, cyclists who do not meet their individual fundraising minimum will be charged the remainder of their balance. Participants who need to drop from the event due to injury, scheduling conflict, etc., and let us know before August 1, 2024, will not be required to meet this fundraising minimum. 

Do I need to be a cancer patient or survivor to participate as a Huntsman Hero?

Nope! To become a Huntsman Hero, you just need to have a passion for creating a world without cancer by supporting Huntsman Cancer Institute. Patients, survivors, and supporters alike are welcome!

Where does the money go?

One hundred percent of all funds raised supports groundbreaking cancer research at Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City. By funding efforts to better understand the beginnings of cancer and more effectively treat cancer, you help relieve suffering and improve the quality of life for cancer patients, survivors, and their families. Cancer patients, caregivers, and donors are encouraged to come together in a myriad of ways to fight cancer individually and collectively through fundraising programs like Huntsman Heroes.

Can I designate my fundraising toward a specific type of cancer?

You can! During the registration process, you can choose to designate your funds toward a specific cancer type, or you can leave it as "Area of Greatest Need," and the funds will be dispersed accordingly.

NOTE: If you join a team that already has a designation in place, your funds raised will go toward that designation.

What are the incentive items for fundraising?

The best incentive is getting the world closer to a cancer-free future. To add a little more fun to the mix, check out these incentives:

  • Raise $1,000 ($500 for relay riders) and receive a Huntsman Heroes team jersey and an invite to our end-of-year celebration
  • Raise $1,500 ($1,000 for relay riders) and receive a Huntsman Heroes team jacket or cycling bibs

Are gifts tax deductible when made through my fundraising page?

Gifts made through a third-party donation platform (example: using Facebook's fundraising platform instead of sharing your official Huntsman Cancer Foundation fundraising page) are unable to be receipted by the foundation.
