While we love the energy of the competition, the heart of our event lies in the shared experience of pushing limits and riding through challenges—just as those facing a cancer diagnosis do every day.

This is a one-of-a-kind event where athletes, adventurers, and supporters come together not only for the thrill of competition but also to make a tangible impact. At its heart, KB4C is a fundraising powerhouse, raising funds to support those who need it most.

What is Project Koru?

Project Koru is a nonprofit dedicated to enriching the lives of young adult cancer survivors through the healing power of community and the outdoors. This unique age group often faces challenges like fear of recurrence, medical debt, social isolation, and body insecurity, yet remains underrepresented in both research and traditional support networks—leaving many feeling lost and hopeless.

At Project Koru, we meet this need by bringing survivors together at Camp Koru, where they reconnect with themselves and others through surfing, adventure, and time in nature. These programs go beyond recreation; they provide survivors with the tools to reclaim their confidence, nurture their mind, body, and soul, and rediscover the best version of themselves while building lifelong bonds with peers who truly understand their journey. By creating this space for renewal, Project Koru helps survivors move forward beyond cancer with strength, hope, and empowerment.
