"Soccer For A Cure" is a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization. Its purpose is to serve as a place where all levels of the Soccer nation (youth, club, high school, college, adult, and professional) can "Stand Together as a Team" to help families fight the battle against all types of cancer.

It was started in January 2008 by Charlie Corbitt, a cancer survivor and warrior advocate for others affected with cancer. He has been involved in college and high school soccer since 1993 and is currently the manager of the "SIS College Soccer Scoreboard" and the "National High School Soccer Scoreboard". His hope is that the soccer nation will one day "Stand Together Hand in Hand as One" and become pro-active in the fight against cancer.

The current economic recession is affecting our nation's most vulnerable. Scott Pelley reports on a county hospital in Nevada that is closing an outpatient cancer clinic due to budget cuts. Please take the time to watch this 13 minute video. It address the crisis regarding cancer care that many families are facing because of the economic recession. This video is about cancer patients in Nevada. However as the video states, many other states are facing similar budget cuts in health care.

Note: there is a 30 second commercial that CBS has added before the video - be patient, it follows the commercial.

There are millions of soccer families in the US and millions more worldwide. If we all stand hand in hand as ONE we can and WILL make a difference for hundreds of thousands of families that are struggling financially because of their war against cancer.
