Winn the Fight was founded by family and friends of Karl Winn, who lost a courageous battle with cancer in September 2007. Through a partnership with Greenville Hospital System University Medical Center (GHS), the first goal is to fund a tissue bank in Greenville at the Clinical Research Unit. You can read more about Winn the Fight's mission here, and you can help fund the tissue bank by participating in one of the events below!
Winn the Fight served as an organizing team for the 2011 Dragon Boat Upstate Festival at Lake Hartwell.
The Dragon Boat Upstate Festival is a Saturday celebration dedicated to
fundraising for the Cancer Center of Greenville Hospital System
University Medical Center (GHS) and other local cancer non-profit
organizations through the racing of beautiful Dragon Boats, with teams
from area churches, businesses, civic groups, neighborhoods and other
organizations.
The Dragon Boat Upstate Festival, now in its fifth year, raises
thousands of dollars and hosts more than 1,500 visitors and team
members. Paddlers, volunteers and supporters enjoy a day at the lake
while supporting cancer research and other cancer services in the
Upstate.
Winn the fight is working with the Greenville Hospital System University
Medical Center (GHS) to bring a Tissue Bank to the Upstate, and we need
your help to make this happen. Our donation goal is $250,000 and every
donation, whether large or small, gets us one step closer. Help be a part
of Winn the Fight!
