In Memory of Taylor Ann Brooks
1993 - 2008

On September 1, 2009 Soccer For A Cure will launch an initiative called "Soccer Versus Cancer". With your help and thousands of other volunteers across the US we hope to make contact with every soccer team at every level in the US aware of this initiative. Each team will be encouraged to have one or more soccer fund raising events benefiting cancer sometime between September 1, 2009 and August 31, 2010. Please click here for additional information about this venture, how your team can be involved, and how you can help as a voluntee in your area.

"Soccer For A Cure" is a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization. Its purpose is to serve as a place where all levels of the Soccer nation (youth, club, high school, college, adult, and professional) can "Stand Together as a Team" to help families fight the battle against all types of cancer.

It was started in January 2008 by Charlie Corbitt, a cancer survivor and warrior advocate for others affected with cancer. He has been involved in college and high school soccer since 1993 and is currently the manager of the "SIS College Soccer Scoreboard" and the "National High School Soccer Scoreboard". His hope is that the soccer nation will one day "Stand Together Hand in Hand as One" and become pro-active in the fight against cancer.

The current economic recession is affecting our nation's most vulnerable. Scott Pelley reports on a county hospital in Nevada that is closing an outpatient cancer clinic due to budget cuts. Please take the time to watch this 13 minute video. It address the crisis regarding cancer care that many families are facing because of the economic recession. This video is about cancer patients in Nevada, however as the video states, many other states are facing similar budget cuts in health care.

Note: there is a 30 second commercial that CBS has added before the video - be patient, it follows the commercial.

There are millions of soccer families in the US and millions more world wide. If we all stand hand in hand as ONE we can and WILL make a difference for hundreds of thousands of families that are struggling financially because of their war against cancer.

If you donate $5.00 or more each year you will receive by return mail a "Soccer For A Cure" window cling that states that you are a member for the current year. A donation of $15.00 or more will entitle you to a window cling as well as a Soccer For A Cure t-shirt.
