Ashton Wells, the Associate Director of American Cancer Society KC said Tuesday's kickoff is a way to get more people involved.
'Tonight is so important because it's an opportunity for people to come together, to learn more about the events, and the impact of the American Cancer Society in the community to see how we're really reaching cancer patients in our community,' Wells said.
The kickoff is at Chicken and Pickle in North Kansas City. There will be free appetizers and soda. FOX4's Matt Stewart is the emcee. All are invited to attend.
