Third Annual San Antonio's Kick Cancer Soccer Camp!
The soccer camp will be held on Saturday, May 21st, 2016 from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon at Alamo Stadium located at 110 Tuleta Dr, San Antonio, TX 78212.
The Kick Cancer Soccer Camp is a camp with a purpose! Its mission is to bring together children/youth and to pair them up with top area soccer players and coaches for a day of soccer fun while raising funds to support pediatric cancer research. Last year, over 350 campers from across Texas participated raising nearly $20,000 to support pediatric cancer research. San Antonio's camp successfully raised over $4,000!
San Antonio's camp was founded in 2013 to honor and remember Nicolas "Nico" Ramírez Castro. Nico---a talented, witty, caring and athletic boy---dreamed of becoming a professional soccer player. However, Nico's dreams were cut short when he lost his courageous battle against a rare cancer on November 18, 2012, at the age of 11.
Each year in the U.S., an estimated 15,780 children are diagnosed with cancer. This heartbreaking disease continues to scar families and communities. This is why Nico’s parents, Lourdes and Jorge Ramirez have dedicated themselves to combating this terrible illness---to remember Nico's love of life, his compassion for others, and his passion for soccer; and to stand with families facing childhood cancer today.
