Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly do I have to do to participate?
To participate, we ask that fill out the enclosed response form and send it in as soon as possible. Please fill it out completely. We also ask that you raise a minimum of $200.

You want me to do WHAT???
We want you to show your support of cancer heroes and survivors by doing 100 kicks before the St. Charles East vs. North Football game.

What is expected of me when I get to the high school?

Because we know it can be uncomfortable attending new events, we make every effort to help you and your family feel welcome. Enter St. Charles North High School and look for the BIG WHITE TENT at the southeast end, behind the visitors’ bleachers of the football stadium around 5 pm. You will see the registration tables near the entrance of the tent. Sign in, and then help yourself to a tasty “down home” meal. At some point during the tailgate event, your drill team kicker will introduce herself and ask you to join her for a photo and present you with a gift.

 
At about 6:00, we will start lining you up with your Drill Team kicker. By 6:30 you will be in front of the stands ready to do your kicks! We first introduce each Drill Team member, you and your affiliation, then the girls step in front and do their 100 kicks. Afterwards, you step in front of the girls, and do YOUR 100 kicks.

After the kicks, we leave the field as a group. At that point, the KICK-A-THON is officially over. You are welcome to stay an enjoy the football game if you choose or return to the tailgate area for additional dessert and coffee.

Are there any personal benefits to participating?
Yes! Besides the personal satisfaction of helping out organizations, such as the American Cancer Society Living Well Cancer Resource Center and the St. Charles Drill Teams, you are also contributing to the sense of community this event promotes.

Also, you will have your name and business/school/affiliation mentioned the evening of the event.  You (and your family!) will receive a free tailgate meal, admission to the STC High School Football game, and a gift at the event.

Will there be any further information sent to me?
Absolutely! The Drill Team dancer that you are partnered with will contact you about three weeks before the event. She will have a packet of very important information for you. If you do NOT receive this packet, please notify one of the Chairpersons of KICK-A-THON.

I am unable to attend on October 22nd, but really want to help this important and worthwhile fundraiser. How else can I help?

We would LOVE to accept your donation of any amount.
We look forward to seeing you,

St Charles East and North Boosters
