About the American Cancer Society 5K Family Run/Walk
presented by UnitedHealthcare

In April of each year, thousands of enthusiastic runners, walkers and volunteers gather on the corporate property of UnitedHealthcare in Onalaska, Wisconsin to show their support for the American Cancer Society and help those touched by cancer.

UnitedHealthcare, parent company of Midwest Security and UMR, is proud to provide primary corporate sponsorship for this event and make it part of its United Volunteers program. Company employees are actively involved in raising funds for the ACS throughout the year and donate countless hours to organizing the Run/Walk event.

In 2008, a special honor was bestowed on our event. The American Cancer Society placed the UnitedHealthcare Run/Walk in the “Top Five” category for outstanding efforts in fundraising in the American Cancer Society’s Midwest Division.

The annual Run/Walk is one of the largest in the region. It also includes a non-competitive Kids' Run. Local corporate, family and other teams, as well as individuals, participate in this important event to raise money to support American Cancer Society (ACS) activities in research, education, advocacy and service.
