Once again this summer, George Kiel III and his Kiel Colon Cancer Foundation will be hosting its premier 3-on-3 sneaker-themed hoops tournament, the Kick & Roll Classic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The tourney brings out basketball players from all over Texas and the US to compete in some their freshest kicks, all for a great cause. The event aims to raise awareness for Colon Cancer symptoms and urge people to be aware of possible preventative measures.<\/p>\n

In addition to the high level hoops competition, there are also several prizes for categories like largest rotation, best sneaker and best vintage, and of course, the “Code Blue” award, highlighting the best blue shoe on hand, honoring the official color of Colon Cancer Awareness month.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been amazed at\u00a0how the event has grown over the past three years,\u201d says George Kiel, founder of the Kiel Colon Cancer\u00a0Foundation. \u201cWe have a ton of new prizes this year and a few, special NBA guests that attendees will\u00a0enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n
