Welcome to Team LCI Heme/Onc's Swim Across America (SAA) Fund Raising Page!

The Department of Hematology Oncology and Blood Disorders at the Levine Cancer Institute was formed as a collaborative effort between Carolinas HealthCare System and the Charlotte community. The department has had a profound effect on our community, providing expert subspecialized clinical care, including bone marrow transplantation, immunotherapy, and cutting edge clinical trials. In addition, we have established ourselves as a national leader in clinical and basic research, with emphasis on clinical impact and patient care. We are grateful to Swim Across America for supporting research efforts to help fight cancer, please join our team to “make waves to fight cancer.”

In 2024, SAA will again host an open water swim taking place on October 6th on Lake Wylie, SC. Participants raise money and swim 0.5, 1 or 2 miles to support cancer research at the LCI and LCH. Alternatively, SAA has added “SAA My Way” - a virtual offering where you decide your activity (running, biking, or other) and timeline. You can still support our team with your activity and fund raising even if you don't want to do the open water swim.

We also need volunteers to help with the dry land portion of the event - so all are welcome to join the team.
