Thank you for your interest in supporting George Foreman's campaign to help Knock Out Pediatric Cancer.
With the passage of Prop. 15 (11/6/07), Texans have proclaimed to the world that we are committed to finding a cure for cancer.
KnockOutPediatricCancer.com exists to give this state-wide effort a little more Punch.
"I thought Frazier and Ali were tough. I see what these kids go through and I realize, they are true champions. I’m coming out of retirement for these kids. I’m going to Keep Punching until we Knock Out Pediatric Cancer."
George Foreman
Two Time Heavyweight Champion of the World
Fund-raising Goal
KnockOutPediatricCancer.com seeks to raise funds to benefit Pediatric Cancer Research.
Our Mission
Two time Heavyweight Champion of the World, “Big” George Foreman is coming out of retirement to help “Knock Out Pediatric Cancer”. His message is “Keep Punching”.
Each year in the United States, approximately 12,400 children and adolescents younger than 20 years of age are diagnosed with cancer. Approximately 2,300 children and adolescents die of cancer each year, which makes cancer the most common cause of disease-related mortality for children 1-19 years of age.
Texans are dedicated to curing pediatric cancer. We are here to help.
Our Objectives
a) Release a compilation CD featuring prominent Texas artists to benefit The Children’s Cancer Hospital at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.
b) Organize and execute a pledge drive endorsed by Mr. Foreman in which individuals and corporations can donate/pledge to support these children in three areas.
1. Research
2. Facilities Development
3. Financial Aid for Families
c) Develop additional strategies to utilize the celebrity of George Foreman to benefit Pediatric Cancer Hospitals.
d) Inspire these children to never give up, to answer the bell and to “Keep Punching”. They have to know that we support and believe in them.
