"Bring your kicks to school today!"

A ROARING Thanks to Our Team Captains and their Schools!

MARCH 18, 2013 - NEW YORK, NY - “Dunk Your Kicks” for pediatric cancer provides a meaningful fundraising opportunity for everyone while teaching kids philanthropy through the art of giving back by “dunking” used “kicks” into recycling bins and taking a step to fund cures for pediatric cancers while providing support and hope to local low income families living with the disease in various communities across the country through its Roar Beyond Barriers program. “Kicks” includes sneakers, shoes used for tennis, basketball, running, light hiking and walking trails and does NOT include other footwear. MCF primarily, but not exclusively, is interested in "kicks" of adult sizes 6 and up for girls and 7 and up for boys, which should be tied together in pairs. More >>

When David Plotkin's life took an unexpected turn down a road he never imagined, he turned to creative writing to better communicate his feelings to his young son, documenting the trials and tribulations of his journey in song. Plotkin's lyrical debut is filled with truth and conviction, offering listeners inspiration, hope and encouragement. Plotkin's album, The Journey, is beautifully produced, having engaged some of Nashville's top talent to assist in weaving words around catchy melodies that embrace the listener with a strength not found often enough in main-stream music today.  Purchase on iTunes >>
