MAYOR'S CUP - Kicks for a Cure
From 9 am to 3 pm, Mayors, City Officials County Commissioners and other dignitaries will be kicking field goals to raise money per kick for the elimination of breast cancer.
There will be a concurrent event for Kick$4aCure (5th annual) for “just regular folks” to kick and raise funds also. All donations to all kickers will go directly to the American Cancer Society to end Breast Cancer through research, and to create awareness.
There is no admission charge to attend the Mayors Cup or Kick$4aCure event.
If you would like to kick to raise dollars for the American Cancer Society to end breast cancer, contact Jon Althoff at jalthoff@dcrchamber.com. To sponsor a kicker, go to Men Wear Pink of MN | Men Wear Pink (acsevents.org).

Sponsorships support the event to allow 100% of kicker donations to go to charity.
