We’re leading, but this isn't locked in until the last hour —and every single lap brings us closer to making a real impact! In these final 60 minutes, our students, faculty and staff will keep the relay going to raise money for the Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund.

It's this time of the year! Fundraising hour for Hit the Bricks is 2pm-3pm. The team that raises the most during this period will gain twenty-five extra laps! Come support Compile & Run, and the Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist before 5pm!
