The Dan Hund Memorial to Stomp Out Cancer is an annual March Madness Pool for anyone who wishes to support cancer research while honoring Dan, who passed away on April 21, 2020, after a long, tough battle with Adrenal Cancer at the age of 35. Among his many passions, Dan was a shoe guy. He bought and sold hundreds of pairs over the years and continually impressed the staff at MD Anderson with new and colorful footwear. When his family sold his home, they found dozens of pairs neatly arranged in his closet, many never worn and in the original boxes.
His friends and family decided to use these shoes in a way to both reflect Dan’s passion for life, sports and fun while supporting cancer research by starting the Dan Hund Memorial to Stomp Out Cancer NCAA Tournament Challenge. The top two brackets each year receive a pair from Dan’s shoe collection. This year we’re playing for a pair of Air Jordan 9 Retro Low Pantone (also known as the Pantones) for first place and second place will receive a pair of Air Max 270 Grey Volt Orange (both size 12, Dan’s shoe size!)
While there is no donation required to play, to support Dan and cancer research the most common donations range from $50-100 per bracket. Your gift will have double the impact, as all gifts will be matched 100% and go to Adrenal and Rare Tumor Cancer research at MD Anderson. In appreciation of your generosity, Tom and Judy wish to cover all expenses to the Fund including credit card fees, so that 100% of your funds go to support rare cancer research in honor of Dan. Please ignore, or do not check, the box to increase your donation by 3% to cover processing fees. These costs will be funded by Dan’s family.
