LACE UP 4 PEDIATRIC CANCER
Saturday, the Lions will be sporting gold laces and teaming up with the Go4TheGoal Foundation to raise support and awareness for kids fighting pediatric cancer. Lace Up 4 Pediatric Cancer began in the fall of 2011. Since then, professional, college, high school, and youth teams have participated in raising funds and awareness for the No. 1 disease killer of children. To date, over a half million athletes have supported our cause. Four dollars from every $5 pair of laces and 100% of all donations directly benefit kids and families in the state where the funds are raised.
Go4theGoal works to improve the lives of children battling cancer by providing financial assistance, granting special wishes, developing unique hospital programs, and funding innovative research. Learn more about Go4theGoal and how you can help to make a difference by visiting Go4theGoal.org.
