2025 MCCP Walk

Stride by stride, make every step count for local children fighting cancer and blood disorders.

Thank you for visiting The Yarmouth Colts team fundraising page for the 2025 MCCP Walk! We're excited to be joining forces with other community members to raise money and awareness for Maine Children’s Cancer Program.

For 38 years, the Maine Children’s Cancer Program Walk has enabled communities statewide to gather and walk in support of local children fighting cancer and blood disorders. The MCCP Walk goes beyond an annual fundraising event — it’s often referred to as a family reunion, creating a space to celebrate the bravery of MCCP patients and remember those who are no longer with us.​
Standing in solidarity with MCCP patients and families is what the annual Walk is all about. This year the event will be held on Saturday, September 13th at Payson Park at Baxter Boulevard in Portland.
It has become a celebrated Colts tradition to participate in this meaningful event that raises both awareness and funds for this important local organization. Our support of MCCP began in honor of cherished Colts player, Jameson Tucker Olmsted, who sadly lost his courageous battle with cancer shortly before his 14th birthday.

While our commitment to MCCP originated with Tucker, it has grown to encompass the far too many families in our Yarmouth community whose lives have been profoundly impacted by this horrible disease. Tucker's wish was that he not be forgotten and that we not forget his friends at MCCP. Thus, we walk in memory of beloved lives lost in our community, in support of families currently facing the struggle and in solidarity that a cure is within our reach.

The Colts organization remains committed to encouraging our players to give of themselves, not only on the soccer field, but in our larger community as well. While your child's participation in the Walk is voluntary, we do strive for active participation. Colts takes pride in the large number of players we send to the Walk each year and MCCP remains deeply grateful for the significant presence and fundraising that Colts players and their families contribute annually. In addition, our players seem to understand the importance of being part of something larger than themselves and contributing to the well being of others.

 
The funds that are raised through the MCCP Walk remain as vital as ever. Every dollar raised stays here in Maine and supports state-of-the-art cancer treatment, support services for patients and their families, and research to help find a cure for childhood cancer. With your support, we can collectively make a huge difference in the lives of local children battling cancer.

Please consider making a donation to support our participation and advance the important work of Maine Children's Cancer Program. Thank you!
