A 1-mile health walk for families followed the race. Children ages two to eleven were also able to race for a good cause.

Donations help benefit children with cancer and will fund immunotheraphy.

Last year, RBC partnered with Memorial Sloan Kettering to pioneer the "RBC Initiative in Pediatric Immuno-Oncology".

Because of this, $1.6MM has been raised through the RBC Race for the Kids in New York, propelling new laboratory and clinical research for pediatric cancer.
