Republic FC Launches Pledge Drive to Fight Colon Cancer in Memory of Fan
February 27, 2023 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Sacramento Republic FC News Release
This March, Republic FC is inviting fans and community members to honor the life and legacy of Shaun "Crash" Kitka, a passionate fan and dedicated member of the Tower Bridge Battalion who sadly passed away after a battle with colon cancer. In recognition of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and Crash's advocacy work, the club will be launching a pledge-based donation campaign beginning Saturday, March 4.
For every goal scored by the Indomitable Club during the month, Republic FC will pledge $100 to benefit the Colon Cancer Alliance and Fight Colorectal Cancer, two organizations that are dedicated to supporting colon cancer patients and survivors and raising awareness about the disease. Fans are also invited to pledge any amount in addition to the club's pledge.
MAKE YOUR PLEDGE NOW
Crash was a shining example of the passion and dedication that fans have for this club, and his impact on the entire Sacramento Republic FC community will be forever remembered. He was recognized in 2021 with the Kevin Nagle Indomitable Spirit Award for his work to improve resources for patients and survivors of colon cancer, and his desire to bring colon cancer screenings to the forefront for younger audiences inspired many.
