About Kick Cancer's Butt Day
Tuesday (September 10) is Kick Cancer's Butt Day!
Our mission is to take action together to raise funds to support ALL kids fighting cancer to show them and their families that they are not alone in their fight to beat this terrible disease.
And a group of wonderful supporters will MATCH ALL ONLINE DONATIONS received Tuesday (September 10), to the value of $1,500,000!
So, that means ANY online donation YOU receive at ANY time Tuesday (September 10) will be matched and added to your online fundraising page (within 24 hours). You can even sponsor yourself.
