We know that many fans have decided to “BEAT CANCER” in September…we invite ALL OF YOU TO SHOW US HOW… ”YOU BEAT CANCER!!!”
We have a new section showcasing our shirts being worn by YOU! Please, send your pictures and captions to:
We ended up with a few hundred extra shirts, so we are selling off the rest of our 'in stock' inventory until the shirts are gone. Our supply is VERY limited, so don't be surprised if we are out or if we only have 1 or 2 of a certain color/size. Once they are gone, they are gone (for this year anyway)!
If you live in Central Iowa, you can get a Beat Cancer shirt
while supplies last at these local Hy-Vee stores:
1700 Valley West Drive in West Des Moines
1725 Jordan Creek Parkway in West Des Moines
3800 Lincoln Way in Ames

Welcome to BeatCancerToday.org.
Our mission is to promote September 12, 2009, as National Childhood Cancer Awareness Day.
Childhood cancer affects far too many children in our country.
Each year, over 12,500 children and teens will be diagnosed with cancer, the equivalent of two classrooms a day.
Childhood cancer is the #1 disease killer of children, more than the next four childhood diseases COMBINED!
Although, the survival rate for childhood cancer has greatly improved over the last 30 years, as many as 1 in 5 of these children will die of their disease. Those who survive their harsh treatments are often left with life-long serious and life threatening side effects.
These children receive their treatments with the courage and grace that all around them admire. They are our heroes. So, on September 12th, we celebrate these young heroes!
The children in Iowa have been treated to visits by athletes and staff from both the University of Iowa and the Iowa State University athletic departments. These athletes and staff have entered these hospital rooms as heroes…only to realize as they left, that they had met the greatest heroes, the young ones fighting for their lives.
So, during the Big Game in Iowa on September 12th in Iowa, we celebrate our children and thank the athletes and staff of the U of Iowa and ISU for their support of these kids. While these teams will fight each other on the field, they have united in the fight against childhood cancer.
Won’t you join us in celebrating National Childhood Cancer Awareness Day on September 12, 2009?
