Doug Landon founded the March To The Arch in 2005 after being diagnosed with testicular cancer. The show debuted in St. Louis, Missouri and has since raised over $1 million for cancer research and $80,000 for Cook’s. In 2021 the event was moved to Fort Worth, Texas and the organization teamed with Cook Children’s Hospital. This past year the March To The Arch presented the hospital with a check for $40,000 and has also donated funds to the AQHA and the NSBA Crisis Fund.
