Hello Rock Cancer Community!
We are excited to announce our annual Rock Cancer Fall 2026 Kick Off Event at Planet Rock in Ann Arbor on Sunday Night, Sept 20 - from 6-8 pm. Rock Cancer is a free program for children and young adults with cancer or a history of cancer that has been running since 2018.
To celebrate our amazing community, we will have the entire "ropes" side of the gym and invite Rock Cancer participants/community, UM Pediatric and AYA Oncology staff, Planet Rock employees and Climbing Team members and Michigan Climbing Club members (siblings/friends welcome -- activities for all levels).
Suggested donation of $5 but feel free to come for free (or donate more to the amazing program)
