24 Foundation’s mission is to inspire and engage communities to make an immediate impact on the lives of those affected by cancer. For us, that means more than funding research and goes beyond finding a cure. To 24 Foundation, that means investing in services that untangle the maze of appointments, tests, and treatments after diagnosis, and funding programs to increase the quality of life for survivors decades into the future.

We started in 2002 with two clients—one a seven-day ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles—and a handful of passionate staff that believed that nearly anything is possible if you have the heart and the grit and are willing to put in the work. We were forever changed by the early AIDS Rides and Breast Cancer Walks that we worked on. Impacted by those early connections, we made our communities better by working with the nonprofits we cared about. We had to. They needed us. 19 years later, we still have the same drive and idealism we did when OP 3 began. Our expertise comes from creating and producing over 350 events in 40 cities, raising over $582 million for our clients, and supporting more than 505,000 participants, most of whom we also recruited and coached on fundraising.
