Lindsay's Legacy is named after Lindsay MacIver, who in 2004 at age 21 lost her battle with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Lindsay had undergone extensive chemotherapy and radiation treatments at Buffalo's Roswell Park Cancer Institute in addition to major surgery at Women and Children's Hospital of Buffalo.

At the time of diagnosis in March 2002, Lindsay's cancer was already at stage IV, but her determination to beat "rhabdo" carried her almost two and a half years. Her never-ending smile, bravery, and optimism were an inspiration to all medical staff, social workers, family and friends. Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma characterized by tumors that develop from muscle or fibrous tissue and can grow in any part of the body.

Funds raised through this event will be donated to the Rhabdomyosarcoma Research Laboratory of Dr. Frederic Barr at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and to Carly's Club, Roswell Park Cancer Institute's official pediatric fundraising division.
