2026 Lace Up for Kids

Get Ready to Lace Up for Kids!

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and is globally represented by the color gold.

Each year, Solving Kids' Cancer distributes gold shoelaces as part of their annual Lace Up For Kids campaign. Throughout the month of September donors receive a free pair of gold shoelaces to wear and show support for kids fighting cancer. Sports clubs, youth groups and entire school districts participate, holding school-wide events to help raise funds for new research.

Please join us for the 2026 Lace Up For Kids Campaign. It's easy and fun to participate! All you have to do is Care. Wear. & Share!
