September 2026: Students from Sauquoit Valley Elementary, Middle and High schools will be running, biking, and walking to raise awareness for childhood cancer. Thanks to our local business sponsors, as students reach different mileage goals donations will be given to help in the fight against childhood cancer. Every Mile Matters!
Last year during the month of September, Sauquoit Valley students logged over 20,000 miles running, walking & biking. Sauquoit Valley staff logged an additional 10,000 miles. If you'd like to be a sponsor for this year's campaign, please fill out our sponsorship form.
June 2026: Abigail's Athletes provided care blankets, and pillow cases for patients on Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital's pediatric cancer floor.
This June we awarded 2 Sauquoit Valley Elementary students, Lia and Carter, with the Abigail's Athletes Recognition of Exemplary Character Award. A $500 donation was made in their honor to help fight pediatric cancer.
