Community Involved: We Are Making a Difference
Fundraising Events

The Live Like Andi Foundation mandate is to raise money through charitable events to fund research leading to a cure for Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma, and to support ACC patients and their families. Through the fall of 2009, we have raised more than $180,000 for our cause.

Check the Fundraising & Events Section on our Home Page often for more information.

Annual Walk/Run

Our first annual Walk & Run & Fashion Walk premiered in 2008. This annual event is a great way to get involved, either as a participant, volunteer, fundraiser, or corporate sponsor or individual donor.
