Signature
Fundraising Events

We have two annual signature fundraising events: Hearts of Gold Dinner and Auction and Paddling Out Cancer Pickleball Tournament.

We are also the beneficiary of several third-party events throughout the year, organized by grateful patients and families.

These events are not only fundraisers, they’re a great way to connect with local businesses and organizations, raise awareness about our mission and introduce new people to Rutledge Cancer Foundation.
