Kickin' Cancer Dinner & Auction

Wednesday, April 15, 2026
Gordyville USA, Gifford, IL

Sponsorships for 2026 now available!

Team up with the American Cancer Society and University of Illinois Men’s Basketball Coach Brad Underwood in the fight against cancer.

The Kickin’ Cancer Dinner & Auction presented by Gibson Area Hospital will be held Wednesday, April 15, 2026 at Gordyville USA in Gifford, IL.

Once again, Coach Underwood will bring in his friends from college basketball – current and former coaches, sports analysts, referees, and more – to give you a fun behind-the-scenes look at the sport. Last year, we had more than 1,600 people who enjoyed dinner, games, silent and live auctions, Coach and his guests, and the chance to support the American Cancer Society.

We are currently talking with organizations and individuals about their 2026 sponsorships. Please contact Sharla Jolly, [email protected], to secure your spot.

Ticket and table sales will open on January 1, 2026.
