Four Seasons Hotel

W A S H I N G T O N , D C

Since 1980, Four Seasons has organized and participated in annual charity runs and other initiatives all over the world to raise funds toward advancing cancer research, a cause that has been supported by Four Seasons employees since Terry Fox’s historic Marathon of Hope across Canada 40 years ago.

Along highways, through towns, and in pouring rain, Terry inspired thousands along a route that was lined with supporters from all walks of life who cheered on his courage and advocacy. Terry succumbed to cancer before reaching his goal. Following Terry’s passing, Isadore Sharp, founder of the Four Seasons, worked closely with the Canadian Cancer Society and other sponsors to ensure Terry’s legacy lived on through an annual run held in his name.

The first Terry Fox Run, held the following year, drew more than 300,000 participants and raised $3.2 million. Supporting Terry’s dream is just one way Four Seasons employees strive to advance cancer research. Through annual runs, golf tournaments, food and beverage promotions, and other activities, every Four Seasons hotel and resort actively supports local and regional efforts to find a cure for cancer.

2020 will mark the 40th anniversary of

the Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC

raising crucial funds for cancer

research. It also marks the

20th anniversary in partnership with

MedStar Washington Hospital Center’s

Washington Cancer Institute. We look

forward to collaborating with you

during this historical year!

Race to Beat Cancer is one of the most

important events of our year at

Four Seasons Hotel Washington DC.

For 40 years, our team and the DC

community have mobilized to race to help

fund cancer research and clinical trials.

Together, we have raised over $2.7 million

for MedStar Washington Hospital Center

and have grown the race to nearly 1,000

participants. More than ever, we need your

help. Please make any size donation to join

us in breaking the $3 million barrier

of money raised to fight cancer!
