We are Team Buoys and Gills, formed in 2024 by six Seattle area friends swimming to raise money that funds clinical trials and cancer research at the Fred Hutch Cancer Center.

Founded in 1987, Swim Across America has hosted charity swims with one goal: to raise money for innovative cancer research that would lead to breakthrough treatments and therapies. Since then, Swim Across America has raised over $100M to fund the next generation of pioneers in oncology and cancer-support care.

No one fights cancer alone. Our team joined Swim Across America because we believe in their mission and want to help give more families hope. If you’re able, please support us by making a donation to help us reach our fundraising goal.

Thank you for helping us #MakeWavesToFightCancer.
