🎪💙 This weekend is BIGGER than a show. Bigger than celebrity chaos. Bigger than the laughs, music and unforgettable moments.

At the heart of Big Slick is childrensmercy - an extraordinary place serving thousands of children and families facing the unimaginable.

Did you know that less than 4% of federal cancer research funding goes toward childhood cancer? Many treatments are still based on adult studies. Families are left searching for answers while kids fight battles no child should ever face.

And yet… because of this community, hope is growing.

Since 2010, Big Slick has helped raise more than $30 MILLION for pediatric cancer research and care at Children’s Mercy. Those dollars are helping fund lifesaving clinical trials, groundbreaking whole genome sequencing, less toxic treatments, and the new Children’s Mercy Research Institute - serving nearly 2,000 children and families every year.

This is why Paul, Jason, Heidi, Rob, Eric, David… and so many incredible celebrities keep coming back to Kansas City year after year.

Because this place matters.
These kids matter.
These families matter.

Huge thanks to alroker and todayshow team for shining a national spotlight on this incredible mission last year. 💙

Now it’s your turn to be part of it.
Come to the events. Buy the merch. Bid in the auction. Donate if you can. Show up BIG for these kids. Do it all at bigslickkc.org.

We’ll see you this weekend at #BigSlickKC 🎪💙
