THE CANCER KICKERS BIG BUFFALO 50
March 23, 2024
Shelby Farms Park

We will be back with amazing swag this year! Every runner will receive a hooded sweatshirt + a trucker hat in an all-new color scheme.

The Cancer Kickers Big Buffalo 50 is the largest annual fundraiser for the Cancer Kickers Soccer Club. CKSC is a local 501c3 founded in 2016 by Michelle and Chris Clothier. The organization is committed to providing comfort, community, and connections to children around the world who are battling cancer. To date, the Cancer Kickers Soccer Club has provided over 2,500 kits to deserving children.

We would love to have the help of the Memphis running community! At registration, you will have the opportunity to make a donation to the Cancer Kickers Soccer Club. Every single dollar donated goes directly to the organization. It costs $300 to provide one child with a kit. That means that each relay team that registers is supporting a child battling cancer! Additionally, every four 50k runners and every three 50 mile runners that register are also supporting a child. We would be so grateful to have your financial support. Every dollar counts, no matter how large or small your gift! Together, we can make a significant impact on the lives of these brave kids!
