Rally Foundation's Benefit Bash Collects Over $4 Million for Pediatric Cancer Research

Rally Benefit Bash Raises Over $4 Million for Childhood Cancer Research

On November 14, 2025, the Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research held its annual Rally Benefit Bash in Atlanta, a momentous event that raised an impressive $4,014,225 for critical research in the field of childhood cancer. This year’s bash was proudly sponsored by Delta Air Lines, alongside Altium Packaging and RTX, showing their unwavering commitment to finding better treatments and cures for children battling cancer.

The Rally Benefit Bash, now in its 20th year, has collectively raised over $24.5 million since its inception, a testament to the relentless efforts of the organization and its supporters in the fight against childhood cancer, which affects 47 children daily in the U.S.

The night was filled with powerful stories, including those from Rally Kids Keren and Asher, who bravely shared their experiences of battling cancer. Keren's journey through three different types of cancer — soft tissue, bone, and blood — and Asher's ongoing struggle with brain cancer served as poignant reminders of the urgent need for continued research and funding.

Dean Crowe, the Founder and CEO of the Rally Foundation, expressed heartfelt thanks to attendees, volunteers, and sponsors, stating, "The generosity and compassion shown at this year's Benefit Bash have been truly inspiring." He highlighted the foundation’s commitment to advancing research and innovations that provide hope and healing for children facing these daunting battles. Crowe was also the recipient of the Rally for Research Award this year, honoring his two decades of dedication to this vital cause.

The event's co-corporate chairs, Erik Snell from Delta Air Lines and Hermann Elger of Forbes Travel Guide, passionately spoke about the importance of Rally's mission. Snell noted, "It’s not only about funding research but also about bringing hope and a sense of community to families during their toughest battles. The turnout tonight is truly inspiring," he remarked.

Elger added, "Standing alongside the Rally Foundation in its mission is an honor. The work being done here changes lives and makes a significant impact. We must ensure that hope continues to grow for these children and their families."

Notable sponsors of the event included major companies such as Adonis Partners, Airbus, American Express, and Nike, all of whom have contributed significantly to the mission of the Rally Foundation. The partnerships established over the years have spearheaded significant funding for life-saving research and have helped advocate for necessary government support.

With a rich 20-year history, the Rally Foundation has awarded over $40.5 million in grants to various research initiatives aimed at pediatric cancer. Furthermore, it has successfully secured more than $317.5 million from the U.S. Department of Defense for research focused on cancers affecting children, adolescents, and young adults.

Looking ahead, the Rally Foundation remains committed to transforming the landscape of childhood cancer treatment. With an impressive rating from Charity Navigator and GuideStar, the foundation continues to be recognized as a leader in pediatric cancer advocacy. Rally Foundation ensures that every dollar raised goes directly into significant research efforts, with 93 cents of every dollar dedicated to its mission.
