Our Mission

Our Non Profit organization provides a college scholarship annually for a High School

athlete. These athletes have a surviving parent who has fought thebattle of cancer during the athlete's 4 years of High School or an

athlete who has fought the  battle themselves. We honor and award gifts to athletes who have been named on our Athlete of the Month page and

we post their inspiring stories. We also have just started a special Inspiration Award program where the athlete is awarded a

certificate and monetary gift.

I am also pleased to announce the impementation of a new scholarship program for us
called Students Of Survivors. This program will award a schoarship to a senior High School
non athletic student who has a parent who has survived cancer sometime during that student's
four years of High School .   There are many scholarships out there for students who have had
cancer or who have had a parent to die from cancer but not much for students of survivors. I saw
the need and thus created our S.O.S. College Scholarhip Award. Students do not have to prove
a financial need because that is a given but they do have to meet other criteria.
Please visit the site for more details: www.StudentsOfSurvivors.org

Thank you for your support!

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 disapointed!

My son, Rob and I attended the concert in Alabama, September 18, 2008

It was absolutely phenomenal! 

We had second row seats.  At one point, Jon came out into the audience and when Rob went to give him a high five, Jon grabbed his hand and said, "Keep singing, man! Keep singing!," as, of course, Rob was singing along just like everyone else but then, Jon also gave him a big hug!  Cool! Rob has learned to play and sing many of their songs so he's a major fan.  We then, got to attend the meet and greet.  The band was very personable, friendly, easy to talk to and very appreciative of each and every fan.  I could not be more impressed with this band from their stage show to their personal characters.  This is a night my son and I will never forget and we will definitely attend future concerts.  As I told Jon, during the meet and greet, their songs are so meaningful and important and they are making a difference in this world to so many people. 

We want to help spread that around. 
They have our support!
