Our Mission


 

Our mission is to provide college scholarships for Senior High School Athletes who have fought the battle of cancer and who plan to continue playing their sport for college.  It is our goal to be able to provide one Champion Of Life College Scholarship Award per state including all 50 United States.   We also give gifts and monetary awards to our Inspiration Award winners and our Athletes Of The Month.  In the near future we will be holding marathons to help fight for the cure of Neuroblastoma, a very common childhood cancer for which there is no cure.   Athletes Kickin’ Cancer, Inc. is a 501 (C)(3) Non Profit established in the state of Alabama.  Criteria for the scholarship winners may be found on the web site at www.AthletesKickinCancer.com. 

An extension of our Athletes Kickin’ Cancer, Inc.  is called Students Of Survivors.   Students Of Survivors is in the process of becoming a 501 (C)(3) Non Profit.   This program is also open to all 50 United States.  This program will give it’s S.O.S. College Scholarship Awards to students who have a parent who is or has been fighting the battle of cancer at some point during the students high school years.  This program will also provide financial help with medical bills or other needs of the parent who is afflicted.  There will be a special gift basket provided for the parent and a trip provided for the entire immediate family.  There are many scholarships provided for students who have lost a parent to cancer but not much help for those with surviving parents.  We recognize the financial burden is great for those who survive even if the family does have insurance, and we want to help.   The web site is under construction but more details may be found there in the near future at www.StudentsOfSurvivors.org.   

.
Thanks to continued support we have reached many of our mission goals.  We continue to obtain many
new sponsors and supporters and are confident that all of our dreams and goals for both programs
will come true sooner rather than later.  If you would like to help with our program, please contact us at

LOVE THESE GUYS!
All of their songs hold important messages so listen with an open mind and learn
Song Playing: Dare You To Move
So many times when we hear that cancer diagnoses our world stops and
all we want to do is crawl in a hole and feel sorry for ourselves. If that's you,
then you need to hear this song. It will inspire you to get up and fight back!
I "Dare You To Move" like today never happened!
Get up and fight back!

If you have a chance to go see this band, please do!  You will not be disappointed!
