KICR (Kids Involved in Cancer Research) is a non-profit, 501©(3) pending organization.  It was created because Olivia Barr, an 8 year old girl who lost her mom to colon cancer  wanted to make a difference.  Last year, in 2 months of planning, she and her friends and family put together a walk that raised over $5,000 with 50+ walkers.  It was an exciting event where 100% of the proceeds went to Colon Cancer Research.

This years’ event promises to be even bigger. We have a goal of $7,500 and 75 walkers.  We anticipate 95% of the proceeds to go to James Solove Cancer Research Center, OSU.   At a donor level, we encourage people to walk or sponsor a walker.  You can donate online for a one time donation through Paypal by clicking the “Donate” button on the top right corner of any page , or register here to join the walk.

Additionally, we are adding corporate sponsorship opportunities.  There are several levels at which the corporate scene can assist us in reaching our goal.  To become involved at the corporate level sponsorship, please click here.

Please help us make a difference!
