  • Kick-It

    Kick-It is a national grassroots organization that raises research dollars to find a cure for kids and young adults with cancer. Kick-It was founded by 10 year old cancer patient Quinn Clarke who adores kickball! Frustrated by his prognosis during his second battle with cancer, Quinn decided it was time to do something to help his doctors find a cure. “Let’s have a kickball game to raise money for research!” 5 days later, 500 people were inspired to come to the first Kick-It game to help Quinn fulfill his dream of curing childhood cancer with his favorite game. The concept has spread across the country.
