Memphis, TENN. - Memphis 901 FC on Wednesday announced the club has partnered with international non-profit organization Cancer Kickers Soccer Club as the official front of kit sponsor for the 2024 season.

Third generation Memphian and business owner Chris Clothier established Cancer Kickers in 2016 with a mission to provide comfort, community, and connections to children fighting cancer. Since then, the organization has shipped personalized soccer kits to over 2,500 children in all 50 states and 23 countries around the world.

The landmark partnership was announced at an exclusive season ticket member event at the Medicine Factory building in downtown Memphis on Wednesday night.

"I could not think of a better partner to have on the front of our jersey than Cancer Kickers," said 901 FC Chief Operating Officer Jay Mims. "They are a truly inspirational story doing very important work to serve our community in an impactful way. The club is beyond excited to collaborate and partner with Chris and his amazing organization to make this happen."

Along with the Cancer Kickers logo appearing on the front of all game-worn jerseys in 2024, including a third alternate jersey to be released this summer. Additionally, 901 FC will enact season-long programs to benefit the cause.

10 percent of all 901 FC jersey sale revenue will benefit the children of Cancer Kickers Soccer Club.

Section 119 at AutoZone Park will now be the Cancer Kickers Soccer Club section for the 2024 regular season and playoffs, with a portion of each single game ticket sold will benefit the children of Cancer Kickers Soccer Club.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and 901 FC will have numerous ways for fans and supporters to help raise awareness.

The club will promote a pledge program giving fans and supporters an opportunity to provide a donation pledge for each goal and save during the club's three matches in the month.

901 FC will host a dinner with a silent auction to help benefit and bring additional awareness in September.

"When we met with Jay, it was impossible to miss the commitment and excitement that he and the club have for the city of Memphis and 901 FC," said Cancer Kickers Founder Chris Clothier. "We truly believe they are going to deliver long-term success for both. However, it was their enthusiasm for the Cancer Kickers Soccer Club's mission and the positive impact we are having on our teammates and their families that sealed the deal. Their work ethic and belief is infectious and we are very excited to be in partnership with the team."

Professional Sports Partners (PSP), a sports marketing consultant firm based in Houston, Texas also assisted the club brand its 2024 season jersey with Cancer Kickers.
