Kicks for Cancer 56 2011
Why is the money donated to Bear Necessities?
This tournament was founded because of a Strikers F.V. Soccer player who was diagnosed with cancer. He was a 
very athletic kid and his soccer number and favorite number was 56. In 2009 he lost his battle with cancer. We want this tournament to help end cancer and prevent the sufferings of people with cancer as much as possible. And what better way to do it than organizing a whole soccer tournament, the sport which he loved, to help raise money. So please join this cause to win, have fun, and help end cancer!
To help us promote our tournament please view our flier and distribute it via e-mail or print it out and post it in a visible place. View our facebook page here and our Twitter page here. If you would like to donate to Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation click here.
