VeloSano, Latin for “swift cure”, is a global fundraising movement to support lifesaving cancer research at Cleveland Clinic. With 100% of every dollar raised dedicated to our mission, VeloSano fuels discoveries that bring us closer to a world without cancer.

VeloSano is excited to expand to South Florida with the launch of our next signature event, Florida for the Cure- a new way to rally for research on the pickleball courts. Join us for this competitive pickleball tournament hosted at the Fort on March 28, 2026.

Together, we will broaden the reach of VeloSano’s impact, harnessing the collective power of the Florida community determined to accelerate progress toward cures.

“With the support of philanthropy, we can advance personalized cancer care, innovative treatments and research to a level that we could not reach alone. Every single gift brings us closer to optimizing outcomes and discovering lifesaving cures for cancer.”
