Where does the money from this event go?

• Touch A Truck is an event brought to you by Max’s Ring of Fire, a San Diego-based 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to raising money for kids’ cancer research. Max Mikulak is the organization's namesake, and battled the childhood cancer neuroblastoma for four years, before he died at the tender age of 7. His family, his friends, and people he never ever met, come together each year to make Touch A Truck a reality, to raise funds for researchers, who will someday find a treatment or a cure for kids cancer.
