Our December Blue Eyes Cup is more than just a tournament — this year, we’re dueling for a cause that really matters.

We’re honored to partner with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute as part of our fundraiser. Every match, every deck, every donation helps contribute to cancer research and support.

Why this matters:

* In the U.S., around 2 million new cancer cases are diagnosed each year — about 1,851,238 in 2022 alone.

* Globally, nearly 20 million new cancer cases were reported in 2022, and 9.7 million people died from the disease.

* As of early 2025, there are 18.6 million cancer survivors in the U.S. — that means a lot of people are still fighting, living with the effects, or helping others through treatment.

* Around 38.9% of people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives (based on recent data).

So when you duel with us, you’re not just playing for bragging rights. You’re raising funds, raising awareness, and raising hope.

Your donations will help Dana-Farber continue their vital mission, which includes:

* Training the next generation of clinicians and scientists to innovate in cancer treatment and research.

* Disseminating new patient therapies and scientific discoveries to communities historically impacted by cancer.

Every contribution counts, no matter the size. Join us in supporting Dana-Farber’s life-changing work and help bring hope to countless families. Thank you for your generosity!
