Founded in 2016 by Michelle and Chris Clothier, the Cancer Kickers Soccer Club began as a family passion project and has grown into a global community built on compassion and connection. With no personal tie to childhood cancer, the Clothiers felt a deep calling to serve, and they answered it with heart.

 

The mission is simple but profound: bring Comfort, Community, and Connection to children 18 and under who are battling or in remission from cancer. Each child, or "teammate," is nominated by a loved one to receive a personalized care package, complete with a custom jersey and gear that makes them feel seen, celebrated, and supported, welcomed onto a team like no other.

 

Today, Cancer Kickers operates internationally under the 100% model, with all overhead costs covered by generous supporters so that every dollar donated goes directly to uplifting brave young lives. 

​

This is more than a nonprofit, it's a family-driven movement inspired by the spirit of kids who show us what true strength looks like.
