All the families were on the field prior to the game and got to watch the teams warm up just feet away from the sidelines.

The invited families have a child who either has or has had a form of childhood cancer.

Before heading into the stadium, the families were treated to an event with food and games at WJCT studios.

Jaguars mascot Jaxson de Ville and members of the Roar were also there to meet the kids and get them pumped up for the game.
