About The RBC Decathlon:
In 2008, Dave Maloney and Marc Hodulich began a friendly competition among friends and co-workers and quickly realized the unique 10-event contest they had created had a limitless potential. Emboldened by the courageous efforts of their mothers who respectively battled breast cancer, Maloney and Hodulich turned the athletic contest into a fundraiser open exclusively to members of the financial services community and benefiting cancer research. Fast forward a few years and this small event morphed into The RBC Decathlon, raising over $1,400,000 in 2013 alone and featured on The TODAY Show, CNBC, Bloomberg, Fox Business Network, and numerous national publications including Sports Illustrated, Barron's, Wall Street Journal, and Forbes.
Participants embrace the opportunity to compete in a diverse array of events like a football throw, 500m row, and pull-ups.
100% of donations support pediatric cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the world's oldest and largest private cancer institution. This is just one step to ultimately producing a game-changing effect on research initiatives to cure pediatric cancer. It's a lofty goal, but why settle for anything less?
