-John F. Kennedy
My name is Teagan Stedman and I started Shred Kids' Cancer four years ago. My friend Alex, now 17, is doing just great now having ended all of his Chemo treatments. Unfortunately there are a lot of other kids out there who are still fighting for their lives and we want to help them.
Shred Kids' Cancer is a charity that lets kids try and do something for these other kids who are suffering. Its a way to make the kids who have cancer know that we are here for them and show them we care and give them strength.
Our main events are fundraisers: one we call "Shredfest" where kids battle cancer with a battle of the bands and another held in Spring and another is a 5K event called Rock the Run held in Fall. We have corporate sponsors, celebrity judges, a silent auction and lots of kids participating to raise money for the cure. We also have bone marrow drives and other events such as Shredflip (jump on a wall and floor of trampolines at Sky High Sports arena), Shredfeast (diners visit a restaurant to eat and proceeds go to the cure) and Shredcamp (a bootcamp exercise class benefiting pediatric cancer research) and we recetnly went to Vans Warped Tour 2012 to spread the shred! We have been lucky to have others present fundraising concerts benefiting Shred Kids Cancer including one in England. We also have original Shred Kids' Cancer items created like a children's book and jewelry with proceeds going to Shred Kids Cancer and we have completed a number of Bone Marrow Drives.

If you are holding an event and want to turn it into a charity benefit, please contact us and we can make it happen!Some amazing people heard about us all the way in England and thanks to Stewart Anderson organized Summerfest to benefit Shred Kids' Cancer. Dave Krusen and Shadow Rewind did a great deed by doing the same with the help of Deyermond Books + Art. Ask us how you can turn your event or party into a fundraiser for Shred Kids' Cancer.
We are proud to announce are an official 501c3 public charity and our Federal ID # is 27-3541000. We hope to increase awareness and attract more sponsors, donations, volunteers and participants as a leading kids non-profit organization!
