how it started
In July 2021, Elizabeth’s heart broke into a million pieces when her father lost his battle to pancreatic cancer. His name was Ted Beisel.
Elizabeth organized a fundraising swim for cancer research in honor of her father’s brutal fight with the disease. Her 20km (12.5mi) swim to Block Island called Block Cancer raised over $665,000. Today, Block Cancer is a brand that has been sold worldwide, and something we know Ted would be extremely proud of.

our why
The only way to cure cancer is through research.
Unfortunately, cancer research is not free. It’s unbelievably expensive. On top of that, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) only funds 15% of all research grant applicants and the rest is up to us. That’s where Block Cancer comes in.
We are here to help bridge the gap and provide doctors, oncologists, and researchers the proper support to help fund their research.

how we donate
At Block Cancer, we are proud to say we donate 90% of net profits to cancer research and clinical trials through the non-profit Swim Across America.
Swim Across America (SAA) is a 501(c)(3) that Block Cancer’s founder Elizabeth Beisel has worked with for over a decade. SAA allows Block Cancer to hand pick which doctors receive grants through a rigorous vetting process.
This means the money raised from Block Cancer funnels directly to in-lab research, so unlike other fundraising organizations, you know exactly where your dollars are going, who they are going to, and why.

OUR PROMISE
At Block Cancer, we are dedicated to leading the fight against cancer. Each day, this devastating disease claims the lives of approximately 1,660 individuals. Shockingly, around 40% of women and men in the United States will face a cancer diagnosis at some point in their lives.
Our vision is clear: we are committed to providing unwavering support to researchers in their quest to combat cancer. By donating 90% of our net profits, we actively contribute to the significant reduction of these alarming statistics, while guiding researchers towards the discovery of an ultimate cure.
Block Cancer aspires to be more than just a brand. We strive to create a powerful movement within the cancer community that instills pride and unity. In our pursuit of uniqueness and recognizability, we collaborate with local artists and creatives who lend their talent to every aspect of our brand.
Block Cancer stands by you, every step of the way. We express our sincere gratitude for the support we receive, both locally and globally. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer.
