Here’s how it works:
A Simple Gift, A Powerful Impact
This year, our Valentine’s Day initiative focused on delivering plush bunnies to cancer patients in local Michigan hospitals. Each bunny was carefully chosen to provide comfort during long treatment sessions and hospital stays.
Why plush bunnies?
- 🐰 Softness brings comfort during physically and emotionally challenging moments.
- 💗 A keepsake of support reminds patients they are not alone.
- 🌷 A symbol of hope and renewal, especially meaningful during the winter months in Michigan.
What may seem like a small gift often becomes something much more. Patients told us they kept their bunny by their side during treatments, held it during difficult moments, or gave it to a child visiting them for reassurance.
We are grateful to support the research taking place within our local Michigan hospitals. To be a part of special days like this, where we get to deliver heartfelt gifts and say hello, means so much to us, too!
This initiative would not have been possible without the generosity of our donors, the dedication of our volunteers, and the partnership of our local Michigan hospitals.
Together, we were able to deliver hundreds of plush bunnies to patients actively undergoing treatment, personally connect with hospital staff and share encouragement, remind patients that their community stands with them. Every hug, every smile, every quiet “thank you” reinforced why we do this work… so, thank YOU!

Fast Laps, Big Hearts • UCANCERVIVE Event Brings Joy to Cancer Families
On Sunday, September 21, 2025, UCANCERVIVE Foundation hosted their 5th Annual Drive for the Cure in Pontiac, MI.
Families affected by cancer were invited to experience an unforgettable day of speed, smiles, and support at our special Drive for the Cure event. Held at M1 Concourse, the event gave children and families the unique opportunity to ride in high-performance race cars, experience the excitement of the track, and connect with others facing similar challenges.
Beyond the thrill of the track, this year’s event held a deeper meaning for our organization. We took time to honor and remember three extraordinary individuals – Sean Egan, Sarah Espinoza and Kayden Strong – who passed away over the last year. These individuals are not only beloved members of our community, but made an everlasting impact on the hearts of our board and committee members. Their strength, courage, and spirit left a lasting mark on our organization, and their legacy of compassion, advocacy, and strength will continue to inspire us. We were proud to celebrate their memory with a special tribute during the thrill rides on this day.
Throughout the day, the track was filled with laughter, cheers, and moments of connection – a reminder that even amidst hardship, there is still room for joy, unity, and hope. Volunteers, professional drivers, sponsors, and families all came together to create something truly special – a powerful show of community and a bold step forward in the fight against cancer.
Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and supported this event. Together, we are driving change – one lap at a time.
