About Kicks for a Cure
Raising money to fight cancer is the primary goal of Kicks for a Cure. Proceeds from Friday evening and Saturday go directly to the Liz’s Legacy Fund for local cancer research.
The Kicks for a Cure weekend, which is ‘kicked-off’ with a party on Friday evening, honors Liz Karnes and her love of soccer. Saturday’s soccer games (featuring local teams) offer an opportunity for families to cheer on the athletes and spread awareness for a great and important cause.
Funds from the weekend go directly to cancer research at UNMC’s Fred and Pamela Buffet Cancer Center and the Hereditary Cancer Center at Creighton University in Omaha. Heading into its 14th year, proceeds from past events total an impressive $3,200,000.
The Kickoff Party
Friday evening’s party offers the opportunity for everyone to generate excitement for Saturday’s activities and enjoy the company of others attending the event with the same goal – to Kick Cancer. Enjoy an evening of food stations, specialty cocktails, and conversation!
