Fueling cancer research and uniting communities through the power of sports.
Support our mission
A Shot For Life is a sports-based cancer research organization that has initiatives throughout the northeast of the United States. Since 2011, from our unique talent-based initiatives to our open enrollment marathons, thousands of athletes have worn an ASFL jersey to make a difference in the cancer community.
ASFL's ethos is that the competitive spirit mixed with the philanthropic heart is a powerful combination. The timeline of our growth illustrates what happens when driven individuals come together with the goal of making a difference.
