About the Upstate Strut for Childhood Cancer Race

Our second annual Upstate Strut for Childhood Cancer Race at Milliken Arboretum was held on November 16, 2025.

Over $65,000 was raised through this event to benefit Upstate children battling cancer through Children’s Cancer Partners of the Carolinas.

This cross-country fun run and 5K race helped children like Maci, pictured here, who are fighting the toughest battle of their lives.
