Coaches Curing Kids' Cancer unique program allows your team to say thanks to their coach while making a real difference in the lives of children battling cancer.

With green eyes and blonde curly hair, Killian was crazy about sports - participating in baseball, basketball and swimming anytime he was well enough during his four-and-a-half years of treatment. One of his brother's coaches was so moved by Killian's brave fight against cancer that he asked his team to forego buying him an end-of-season gift and instead he asked that any money collected be donated to fund cutting edge pediatric cancer research. A year after his death, Killian's mother - Grainne Owen - adapted that coach's idea and created Coaches Curing Kids' Cancer. Today, youth sports teams from all over the nation make donations in honor of their coaches - with proceeds going to childhood cancer research
