    Race Benefactor

    As a non-profit serving impoverished and homeless children and families, Note in the Pocket started with a simple mission: to clothe children with dignity and love. Note in the Pocket believes that it is unacceptable that children are limited in their educational and social development because they do not have appropriate clothes for school.

    We have a goal to clothe 12,00 children and families from across the Triangle in 2026. Proceeds from this event help to make that happen.

    Join Us in the Pursuit of a Cure

    Every year, "Lookin' For A Cure 5K" events light up cities across the United States. These events are not just about running, they are about igniting awareness, and unity in the fight against Ocular Melanoma. By participating, you're not only support groundbreaking research but also bringing together individuals affected by Ocular Melanoma. We're Lookin' For a Cure in Raleigh/Durham!

    A Partnership for Progress

    A Cure In Sight collaborates with leading research facilities and dedicated physicians that specialize in Ocular Melanoma treatment. Together, we channel the net proceeds from these events into ongoing research projects and patient support programs. Your involvement directly contributes to advancing the quest for a cure.

    Your Steps Matter

    Come be a part of Lookin' For a Cure Raleigh/Durham on Saturday, May 16th, 2026 at Bull City Running Company South Durham from 7:00 AM to 10 AM and join A Cure In Sight for a walk or run that goes beyond the scenic beauty that you will experience during the race. Together, we'll take steps to combat Ocular Melanoma, a rare eye cancer that is diagnosed in approximately 3,000 new cases each year across the United States. Bring your friends and family, start a team and begin fundraising to help us reach our goal. All ages are welcome to walk or run with us.

    Experience Beauty While You Run
