Each year, 12,500 children are diagnosed with cancer in this country. This terrible disease impacts thousands of families across America and as a result September has become National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

The Shark Shootout continues its ongoing relationship with CureSearch National Childhood Cancer Foundation, the tournament's primary charitable beneficiary, in efforts to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer research. You can join the fight this month by purchasing new "Kid's Cancer Month" merchandise and apparel through the CureSearch Young Artist Program.
