In partnership with MLS Clubs, players, coaches, staff and fans, the Kick Childhood Cancer campaign will aims better cures for all types of childhood cancer by raising funds for Children’s Oncology Group (COG) Foundation, and provide comfort and inspiration to the patients and families within the pediatric cancer community.

IMPACT: Funds raised from Kick Childhood Cancer have helped strengthen Children’s Oncology Group's research efforts across the entire spectrum of pediatric cancers, including Project:EveryChild — which aims to capture the biology and outcome data of every child diagnosed with cancer. A single enrollment into a clinical trial for Project:EveryChild can approach $10,000 per patient. MLS has helped to offset the costs of nearly 25,000 enrollments to-date, with an expected 30,000 to be enrolled by the end of 2020.
