Highlights from last year's Derby Days.
The cause
Derby Days built around service, fundraising, and campus community.
Derby Days is a campus-wide effort to support Huntsman Cancer Foundation through Greek life, community events, and meaningful service.
Cause
Why Huntsman
The mission of the Huntsman Cancer Foundation is to find the causes of cancer, to develop new and better treatments, and to prevent people from ever developing cancer.
Community effort
Greek life, campus, and community
Derby Days brings together sororities, fraternities, students, alumni, parents, and local supporters in one shared effort to raise money against cancer.
Connection
Fun that raises more than money
The goal is to raise money in a way that feels spirited, welcoming, and genuinely memorable, while building meaningful connections around a cause bigger than any one team.
