3rd Annual Kids 4 Kids RUN/WALK
 
Brings Out the “Kid” in All of Us
In Support of 
Children's Cancer Research Fund

Kids possess a uniquely powerful spirit of hope and an untarnished belief that 
their wildest dreams can be accomplished, whether it’s becoming President
of the United States, or finding a cure for cancer. Children’s Cancer
Research Fund (CCRF) and Founder/President Matti Contopulos believes 
there’s a kid in all of us and created the annual Kids 4 Kids RUN/WALK.

The concept for Kids 4 Kids RUN/WALK evolved from important changes
Matti has seen over the years in children’s awareness of cancer and the 
incredible generosity from kids of all ages wanting to help kids with cancer.  
“Countless times we’ve experienced amazing examples of hope and 
determination in children whether they were patients battling cancer or 
determined children who emptied their own piggybanks to make a donation 
to our organization,” said Matti. This is a spectacular Event as kids of ALL 
ages from throughout Southern California participate in a truly fun Event with 
a very special mission: to create a HAPPIER and HEALTHIER future for all 
children.  With the moneys raised, HAPPIER will be an art program at Camp
Dream Street and supplies for a playroom at County USC Hospital, and 
HEALTHIER will be the funding of new grants in clinical research in pediatric
oncology. There is no RUN/WALK like this in the country and we feel this will
be a national campaign that will have an incredible impact on pediatric cancer. 
For the doctors tackling research, for the children and families dealing with
cancer, and for our Most Valuable Players (YOU) who are participating...this 
promises to be an incredible Event for all.
