All proceeds from Derby Days support the Huntsman Cancer Foundation, a world-class organization dedicated to ensuring that cancer patients and their families have access to the best care, research, and education. Huntsman Cancer Institute, based in Salt Lake City, is one of the nation's leading cancer research and treatment centers.
Sigma Chi's partnership with the Huntsman Cancer Foundation is a cornerstone of the fraternity's national philanthropy. Since the partnership began, Sigma Chi chapters across the country have raised millions of dollars to advance cancer research and provide hope to those affected by the disease.
Local businesses and organizations are invited to sponsor Derby Days. Sponsorship helps cover event costs, meaning more of every dollar raised goes directly to the Huntsman Cancer Foundation and cancer research.
Sponsors receive visibility at the event, recognition on our social media, and the satisfaction of supporting a meaningful cause in the Madison community.
