Kickin’ Cancer® vs. “Kicking Cancer”: What’s the Difference?

(And why it matters for women’s health.)

For more than 25 years, Kickin’ Cancer® has been the official women’s cancer–prevention run and wellness expo of the Lynne Cohen Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to preventing breast and ovarian cancer through early detection and community-based care.

Because other cancer events sometimes use similar names, many people understandably ask:

Is “Kicking Cancer” the same as Kickin’ Cancer®?

The answer is no — and here’s why.

Kickin’ Cancer® is a registered trademark.

Kickin’ Cancer® is the legally trademarked name of the Lynne Cohen Foundation’s event.

It represents our long-standing commitment to:

  • preventing breast and ovarian cancer

  • supporting women at increased risk

  • funding LCF national preventive care clinics

  • advancing early detection and education

  • building community through movement, health, and hope

We are not affiliated with organizations or websites using the phrase “kicking cancer” or variations of our name.

Why the distinction matters

Women searching for:

  • cancer prevention resources

  • hereditary risk information

  • preventive care clinics

  • details about the Kickin’ Cancer® run

  • ways to support women’s health

should be able to find accurate, medically supported, and mission-driven information.

Your safety — and the clarity of our mission — depends on it.

We're here to support women everywhere
