In this episode, Brian chats with Jenny Pleasant Rhodes, a fixture of Knoxville’s adult soccer league scene who in 2012 founded the Knoxville Kickin Cancer Adult Soccer Tournament.
The tournament exists to bring together the Knoxville soccer community in support of individuals suffering from cancer or organizations engaged in the fight against cancer.
The tournament has grown significantly each year, and recipients have used funds for treatment, research, outreach, and education. This year’s tournament takes place from April 21-23 at Dick’s House of Sport.
