Not even the rain could stop us from making history at Hit the Bricks! 🌧️
More than 2,000 students, faculty, staff, and alumni came together on Hearn Plaza to raise a record-breaking $303k+ for cancer research. Participants ran and walked over 14,000 laps throughout the day, all in honor of Brian Piccolo and the fight against cancer.
The Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund Drive was started by our students in 1980 in memory of the Wake Forest All-American football player, who passed away at age 26 from cancer during his career with the Bears. The funds support clinical research and programs at the Comprehensive Cancer Center at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist.
Since the student-led event began in 2003, it has raised more than $1.5 million for the cause.
