Texans kicker Kris Brown and his wife Amy founded the Kris Brown’s Kick Club in 2003 to benefit
Texas Children’s Charity Care Program. To date the program has
raised more than $475,000 for the patients and families of
Texas Children’s.
The mission of the Kick Club is to provide hope,
medical resources and healing for Texas Children's
patients who need them most. It was inspired by Texas Children's charity care recipient Deedy Pendley,
who said:
 "If someone like Kris Brown had been
around when my son Cody was alive, I would have let him know that
hope, medical resources and healing is the precious gift that you
have given my family by being so generous and determined. With Cody
as fragile as he was, it was impossible for me to go out on my own
and provide this for my son –
Texas Children's Charity Care Program
truly rescued us at such a critical time. These children are the
least of the least, and Texas Children's Hospital and Kris Brown's
Kick Club lets them and their families know how valued they still
are."
Pendley is the mother of a Texas Children's patient and
member of Kris Brown's Kick Club Advisory Board.
Most funds raised by Kris Brown’s Kick Club come
from the corporate sponsorship program. Each corporate sponsor
contributes $250 for every point Kris scores during the regular
season. Joining the Browns as corporate sponsors for the
2007 season are Amegy Bank of Texas, Clear Channel Communications,
Continental Airlines and The Redstone Companies.
 In addition to
corporate sponsors, Amy and Kris actively recruit community
members to join the Kick Club and contribute to Texas
Children’s Hospital.
