Jacksonville Beach residents, Lisa and Jeff Amato lost their daughter Kate, at the young age of 11 in November of 2016, after a long and difficult battle with cancer. Through her illness, Kate’s parents discovered how severely underfunded research is for pediatric cancer and witnessed first-hand the brutal effects of outdated, toxic treatments. To honor Kate’s life and continue the fight for other children, the Kate Amato Foundation was formed.
KATE KUP will kick-off on Saturday, April 20th starting at 8:00 a.m. at The Yards in Sawgrass. This family-friendly spectator event offers FREE admission to the public, while raising awareness and funds for pediatric cancer. Kate Amato Foundation and The Yards would like to invite the community to come out and enjoy an entertaining day of triples tennis, delicious food from your favorite local restaurants, Taco Lu and Bearded Pig, a live DJ, a Wine & Beer Garden for the adults, Kid Zone activities including face painting, games and ice cream, an Awards After Party, and much more!
