Rivals United for a Kure – We Will Win in the fight against cancer

Inspired by A City Divided, the first ever documentary about the UCLA and USC football rivalry, Rivals United for a Kure is a fundraising campaign designed to bring sports communities together to “Fight for a Kure”. In the first year of the inaugural campaign, $300,000 was raised! The funds were divided equally and $150,000 each went to USC Norris and UCLA Jonsson Cancer Centers for the immediate support of underfunded cancer research projects.

The second annual Rivals United for a Kure Gala was held during Rivalry Week in 2013. Stay tuned for an announcement of the grant amounts that will be awarded in the Spring of 2014.

Every Little Bit Counts: The Self-Storage Industry Fights Cancer

One pillar of Kure It’s fundraising success is raising lots of money by involving many people, giving small amounts, on a regular basis. The self storage industry has been the catalyst to this effort by implementing such programs as the Round Up for Research and Store for the Kure, our two owner and tenant donation plans.

Kure It's Story

The idea to establish Kure It came after Barry Hoeven was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 1998 while on a family vacation. Over the past 16 years, Barry and his family have been battling this disease on two fronts, personally, and by establishing Kure It to fund research. While Barry battles kidney cancer himself, he is continually focused on his goal for Kure It - to grant $1 million for research each year.
