What is Kris Brown’s Kick Club?
When Houston Texans’ Kicker Kris Brown kicks a field goal, the crowd goes wild! And it’s not just Texans fans cheering Kris on, but patients and supporters of Texas Children’s Hospital, too. That’s because every time Kris scores a point, Houston area corporate partners, along with Kris and Amy Brown, are donating $250 to Kris Brown’s Kick Club. Since our inception in 2003, the Kick Club has raised nearly $500,000 for children at Texas Children's Hospital.
If you are not familiar with the Texas Children’s Hospital’s Charity Care program, its mission is to provide medical financial assistance to families in need. For more information, visit TexasChildrensHospital.org.

BACKGROUND
Kris Brown’s Kick Club stemmed from a personal experience that Kris dealt with as a child. His sister was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at the age of 11. April beat the odds and has been in remission for 13 years. The support his family received during this ordeal had a tremendous impact on Kris, and served as the inspiration to form Kris Brown's Kick Club.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
As an athlete, Kris is viewed as a role model and is passionate about giving back to the community in which he and his family live. The experience with his sister, and his love of children, have drawn him to Texas Children’s Hospital.
MISSION STATEMENT
To provide hope, medical resources and healing for patients at Texas Children's Hospital that do not have the ability to provide these for themselves and to increase community awareness about their needs.
Our Mission Statement was inspired by Texas Children's Charity Care recipient, Deedy Pendley:
