Do I have to use the RunGo App? Do I have to run at all?

No, but it's an easy and fun way to interact with other participants that care about improving and saving lives from prostate cancer. Register as a virtual participant and you'll still be eligible to earn ZERO recognition rewards that will be mailed directly to you, all while supporting prostate cancer patients and families.

Yes, we'd love to see you there. Please email us at races@zerocancer.org and we can switch your registration to in-person if you'd like.

About the ZERO Run/Walk

Are all donations tax-deductible? How can I receive an IRS tax receipt for my donation?

Yes. All monetary donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. If the donation was made online, the tax receipt will be emailed to the email address provided. If you donated via check, you can request a tax receipt by emailing races@zerocancer.org.

I think my company matches employees' charitable donations. How do I get this started?

When making your donation, please enter your company name in the matching gifts search tool. We'll have some information on whether or not your company matches, but please make sure to follow-up with your company to get this process started. If you have questions, please email races@zerocancer.org.

I'm not a runner, how else can I take action to ZERO out prostate cancer?

Don’t worry, you don’t need to run or even walk if you’re not up to it. What’s important is that we are supporting each other and spreading awareness about prostate cancer. You can make your impact by fundraising in your own way. Post on social media and invite your friends to follow along and join you in the fun.

You can also start your own fundraiser — whether it's a bake sale or selling your own artwork or clothing, let your network know that proceeds will help to improve and save lives for prostate cancer patients.

However you take action, you'll be spreading crucial awareness for the cause and making direct support possible for patients and families affected by prostate cancer. Share how you're making an impact by posting a photo on social media using the hashtag #ZEROprostatecancer.

There's so much going on in the world right now. Why is prostate cancer still important?

One in eight American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime and the funds raised are invested around the country to provide research for new treatments, free prostate cancer testing, support patients emotionally and financially and educate men and families about prostate cancer. As diagnoses rise, more patients and families than ever are taking advantage of our direct patient support programs, making the need for funds to sustain the demand critically important.

How much of the funds raised go to patients in need? How are the donations used?

100% of donations go to ZERO Prostate Cancer, a registered 501(c)(3) organization (tax id 59-3400922).

The money raised by the event helps drive free prostate cancer testing throughout the country as well as in the communities of each Run/Walk location. We are proud to award grants in select communities where we can have the most impact on new programs, patient support, early detection, and awareness efforts.

Here are five ways your gift makes a difference on a national scale:

  1. Financial Support: Your support connects patients in need with personalized solutions to alleviate the many financial stressors of their diagnosis including treatment costs, transportation, insurance navigation, and more.
  2. Research: Your gift advances prostate cancer research to discover new treatments and diagnostics.
  3. Knowing risk factors and the importance of early detection saves lives and your gift makes education and awareness efforts happen nationwide.
  4. Emotional Support: Your gift ensures patients and caregivers have support through in-person and virtual support groups and mentors across the country.
  5. Health Equity: Your gift helps remove barriers and provide critical support for those at the highest risk for the disease who for way too long have suffered inequities.

ZERO is the only national prostate cancer charity to receive the highest-possible 4-star rating for financial responsibility from Charity Navigator, and meets all 20 standards of accountability as an accredited charity member of the Better Business Bureau. And no other prostate cancer charity spends more per dollar on programs — more than 73 cents.

Can I continue to collect donations after the event?

Absolutely! Participants can fundraise up until four weeks after the event to be eligible for ZERO recognition rewards.

Register Today

How much does it cost to register?

It's free to register! Participants that fundraise $50 (either through a self-donation or raised through family and friends) by event day will receive a Run/Walk shirt at the event. If you are signed up as a virtual participant your shirt will be mailed to you after the event.

I already registered for free, but want to get an event shirt. How can I do that?

All you have to do is fundraise $50 (either through a self-donation or raised through family and friends) on your personal fundraising page before the event date and you will receive a shirt. All prostate cancer patients and survivors will receive a shirt on the event day.

Should I start a team or join as an individual?

I accidentally registered as an individual and meant to join or start a team. What do I do?

No problem! If you would like to be added to a team or start your own team, simply send an email to races@zerocancer.org with your name, team name, and what city's event you're taking part in.

I'm not sure I want to participate in person. What does the virtual participation option look like?

This year's virtual Run/Walk option will be held through the RunGo app (available on Apple and Android). We'll all run/walk on the same date/time. You create your own course and your stats are tracked using the app so you can participate with other participants virtually.

It's a great option for those that are not able to make it in-person. Virtual participants are still eligible to earn all ZERO recognition rewards!

Fundraising FAQ

Is there a fundraising minimum to participate in the Run/Walk?

No. There is no fundraising minimum, but we need your help to raise funds to provide programs that help save the lives of prostate cancer patients. Please consider setting a goal of at least $100 to help get to Generation ZERO, the first generation free from prostate cancer. All participants that fundraise at least $50 will have an option to receive a participant shirt.

All registered participants receive a personal fundraising page, fundraising coaching, and many tools, guides, and other resources to help you. To speak to someone about fundraising tips or coaching, email races@zerocancer.org or call 202-303-3110 and our team will assist you.

I created a fundraiser on Facebook for ZERO before registering for the Run/Walk. Can I connect that fundraiser to my Run/Walk fundraising page?

No. Participants must register on the ZERO Run/Walk website first, then create the Facebook Fundraiser from their Participant Center. We cannot tie an existing Facebook Fundraiser to a new registration. If you have already created a Fundraiser and selected ZERO as the beneficiary, donations will be sent to ZERO as general donations.

To request that donations be moved to credit your run/walk registration, email races@zerocancer.org. To begin receiving credit for new donations, please close your existing fundraiser and set up a new one through the Participant Center.

I don't want to donate online. Can I donate another way?

We can take donations via the phone or via mail as well. Call ZERO at (202) 303-3110, Monday Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. EST, and we can process a credit card payment over the phone.

What if someone gives me a cash donation?

Please send a personal check covering the amount, along with a corresponding donation form to ZERO. We will be able to credit your donors for their generosity if you include their contact information. If this is not possible, you can always bring the cash donations and donation forms to the event.

I received a donation, but don't see it on my fundraising page?

All mailed donations should appear on your page within two weeks of being received by ZERO. If you do not see your donations on your page, please email ZERO at races@zerocancer.org.

I want to fundraise, but I don't know how. Where should I start?

We encourage all participants to customize their page with their own photo and story of why you're participating. You can also send emails to friends and family, and easily track your donations. Please view our tips and tricks page for more information. You can also email ZERO's National Events Team at races@zerocancer.org or call us at 202-303-3110 for assistance and ideas.

Are there any awards or fundraising incentives for top fundraisers?
