Curing Kids Cancer is bringing our signature event, the Fire Truck Pull, back to Lakeview on Saturday, July 18, 2026. Funds raised at the 3rd Annual Fire Truck Pull will fund vital pediatric cancer research, fueling Curing Kids Cancer’s mission to lead the charge in developing innovative treatments for childhood cancers.
Imagine this: Teams of ten competing to pull a 20,000-lb fire truck 50 feet in the fastest time. It’s the ultimate tug of war! Each team pulls in honor of a child affected by childhood cancer. You can pull for someone you know or let us match you with a brave child to support.
Let’s get creative! Dress up in tutus, camouflage, sports gear—anything that represents your cancer warrior’s favorite things. We love seeing your imaginative outfits!
Team up for triumph! Whether your team is made of friends, colleagues, or family, your efforts will bring hope to children fighting cancer. Don’t miss out—team registration closes on Friday, July 10, 2026, at noon.
While significant progress has been made in the fight against pediatric cancers, certain types of childhood cancers still have low cure rates. Continued research is essential to understand these cancers and develop new, more effective treatments.
The third annual Lakeview Fire Truck Pull will be held in memory of River Lou Opper, a brave and beloved child who passed away from cancer on November 27, 2023, at just 19 months old. River’s strength and resilience inspired many, and this event serves as a tribute to her life while raising awareness and support for childhood cancer research.
There are different ways to win! For each category, the winning teams will receive a prize and recognition for their sweet victory.
1. Overall Top Fundraising Team: Show us the money! This team has fundraised the most money through the end of the competition.
2. Best Dressed Team: Superheroes and unicorns, assemble! This team wins the in-person vote for best costumes. This competition will take place in person at the event BEFORE the pull, so make sure you are on time!!
3. Fastest teams: The two fastest teams to pull the fire truck to the finish line win a prize!
