To Whom It May Concern-
In my time working within the childhood cancer world, I have had the opportunity to meet a vast number of
supporters and proponents to our mission of empowering athletes and communities to fund lifesaving childhood cancer
efforts. I can say, undoubtedly, nobody has supported and served our mission and our kids like Ciara Turner.
By leading the Precise Professionals and the SIUE community in a newfound effort to join the soccer team with
the idea of helping children with cancer, over $5,800 was raised benefiting Vs. Cancer, national childhood cancer
research, and directly helping the local community with the ‘Friends of Kids with Cancer Foundation.’
Ciara took an idea and turned it into an actual feasible event that was wildly successful, by implementing both
her surrounding peers in a coordinated effort but also crossing into the SIUE athletic department to ensure a complete
buy in by all parties. The result was significant, by raising thousands of dollars from scratch.
As a cancer survivor, personally, I can attest to the impact that these funds will have, and also to the dedication
that is needed in order to turn a concept into fruition. I’m here solely because of that capability dedication, and all the
more thankful because of it.
Needless to say, those funds- which will be distributed to both childhood cancer research and to kids directly in
the local community- would not have been raised without Ciara and the rest of the group. In terms of impacting the lives
of others, I could not give a higher recommendation.
