More than 350 turned out this fall for the 20th annual Vulcan Funshoot which this year raised more than $169,000 in net proceeds for the Cancer Therapy & Research Center (CTRC) at the UT Health Science Center. The sporting clay fundraiser has been a labor of love since 1994 for the employees and leaders of the aggregates company and has raised more than $2 million over the years to support the CTRC’s mission to conquer cancer through research, prevention and treatment.
