On August 8, 2026 PUMP will once again host Kickball for a Cause at Mellon Park and bring together young people, ages 21+, for a day of kickball, fundraising, picnicking, and fun.
Since 2003, Kickball for a Cause (K4aC) features teams that play in round-robin lightening games in Mellon Park throughout the day while enjoying generous donations of food, drink and music from our sponsors. The top teams advance into playoff rounds – which always generates a crowd of supporters and cheers.
We need your help selecting this year’s Causes!
We are so excited to announce our 4 finalists and open voting for everyone! Voting will be open from June 11th through June 22nd and we will announce the winner(s) on Tuesday June 23, 2026!
The nonprofit receiving the most votes is guaranteed to be a Cause. PUMP may consider additional Causes based on voting and priorities.
Anyone is eligible to vote one time. PUMP Members also receive one vote, but their votes count as two votes.
Our 2026 Kickball for a Cause Finalists are:

Our goal is to give families dealing with advanced-stage cancer the opportunity to make lasting, positive memories. Included in the special day, we send a professional photographer so that every family receives a commemorative photobook.
