FC Cincinnati is proud to support Childhood Cancer Awareness Month during September with the Kick Childhood Cancer campaign. We will kick things off by bringing awareness to this important cause during our home match on August 31. Here, we will host children and survivors affected by pediatric cancer from The Dragonfly Foundation, Cancer Free Kids, The Cure Starts Now, Ronald McDonald House, among others from across the Greater Cincinnati area. Prior to hitting the pitch decorated with gold corner flags and nets, these kids will ride into the match with style on a Supercar Therapy ride in various high-performance sports cars led by a motorcade from the Cincinnati Police Department. Upon their return, these young warriors will deliver the match ball, perform the FCC sword ritual, and serve as our walkout kids with players from both teams.
