CB West Football Player Dedicates Season To Fighting Cancer

DOYLESTOWN, PA — A Central Bucks West varsity football player is dedicating his upcoming season to help fight childhood cancer. Conner Garrison, a kicker/punter, has pledged to be a "Kick-It Champion" through Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.

Starting with Central Bucks West’s first game on Aug. 24, Garrison will accept donations and pledges for each field goal and extra point he makes during the 2018 football season. All donations received will benefit childhood cancer research through Kick-It.

“I have had family experiences with cancer so I understand the effects cancer can have on the body and people's lives,” Garrison said. “It makes me happy that I am helping out in a way that I can.”

He hopes to raise $3,000.

“I will work as hard as I can to raise as much money for this cause,” he said. “I would appreciate all the support I can get. Together we can help fight cancer.”

Kick-It is a national charitable athletic campaign to raise money for childhood cancer research. According to campaign organizers, Kick-It partnered with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation in 2017 in order to further the vision of a 10-year-old boy with cancer who wanted to help other kids like him.
