30% Huntsman | 30% VP/STX | 30% host partner | 10% operations
The featured event model is explicit: one cancer-research share, one veteran-aligned community share, one approved event host or sponsor share, and one operating share to keep the work coordinated.
Support style
Ticket price or virtual drink
The public call remains simple: if the effort moves you, support the mission the way you might buy a ticket, send a congratulatory drink, or sponsor the work directly.
Legacy Lift4Love
The story we are carrying forward
These are the public anchors of the Lift4Love story: the pounds lifted, the family history, the cancer mission, and the charge to keep showing up.
Current total highlighted on the legacy Lift4Love site.
Tim and Carrie Nash began shaping Lift4Love around a long-view mission built from lived experience.
The current public event model: Huntsman, VP/STX, sponsor-host, and campaign operations.
The challenge is to keep lifting, keep showing up, and keep funding the mission.

Why Huntsman
From the current Lift4Love story
The legacy site is explicit about why the Huntsman Cancer Institute matters to this campaign.
Sigma Chi connection
Tim's Sigma Chi connection is part of why Huntsman Cancer Institute was chosen. The legacy Lift4Love story points directly to Sigma Chi's deep history of support for Huntsman.
Cancer has touched the family
The campaign comes from personal experience, family loss, and private health battles. That is why the mission stays direct and personal instead of abstract.
The generation to end cancer
Lift4Love frames the challenge around a practical ambition: help fund the work that could make this the generation to end cancer.
Active Campaign Planning
Heavy lifting with a clearer public structure
Lift4Love was started in concept by Tim and Carrie Nash after years of health battles, family losses, and a conviction that healthy seasons should be used for as much good as possible. The mission has always been simple: do the work, invite people to stand with it, and put real support behind families facing cancer.
The legacy Lift4Love site framed the ask in everyday terms: a ticket price, a congratulatory drink, or a sponsor contribution that turns visible effort into visible help. That spirit stays intact here, but the public structure is now clearer and more accountable.
Lift4Love is being organized around a 30 / 30 / 30 / 10 event model: Huntsman Cancer Institute, Vetted Patriots / STX, an approved sponsor or host organization, and the operating slice required to run responsibly. The goal is a campaign home that can explain the mission, show the event plan, and keep partners and distributions in full view.
