Team Sparrow is more than a running team.
It's a community of people who believe that no one facing cancer should ever feel alone- and who are willing to turn their miles into something that truly matters.
When you join Team Sparrow, every mile you walk or run helps put home-cooked meals on the tables of individuals and families navigating cancer treatment. Your movement becomes nourishment. Your effort becomes comfort. Your commitment becomes care.
A Movement Built on Compassion
Since 2015, Team Sparrow has brought runners, walkers, beginners, seasoned athletes, families, and friends- people of all ages and abilities-united by one shared purpose: to show up for those facing cancer.
Together, Team Sparrow has:
-
Raised over $1 million to support Sparrow's Nest
-
Helped nourish more than 2,000 individuals and families during some of the hardest moments of their lives
Behind every finish line is a family who didn't have to worry about dinner that night- and that's what makes this team special.
When you become a Sparrow, you're joining a team that:​
