Bam. Dot. Crack. For a Cure.
A mahjong tournament and a silent auction honoring Saville Sullivan Larkin and funding brain cancer research through the Knox Martin Foundation.
Sav's Crack at a Cure exists to honor the life and legacy of Saville Sullivan Larkin on her birthday weekend by bringing people together in the fight against brain cancer. Through events built by this community, we celebrate friendship, foster connection, and create joyful experiences while raising awareness, inspiring hope, and funding innovative research through our partnership with the Knox Martin Foundation (KMF).
We believe that when people come together with generosity and a shared purpose, they can help change the future for someone else's Saville and someone else's Knox.
Our Why
In August 2016, Saville Sullivan Larkin, a sophomore at the University of Alabama, was diagnosed with stage 4 malignant brain cancer.
She was nineteen years old.
Despite the incredible physical tolls she endured, Saville's positivity never wavered. She fought with immense strength, faith, and dignity, continuing to live life to its fullest and inspiring others in the process.

KMF emerged less than four months after Knox's passing, born out of the resolute desire to transform tragedy into progress. Knox was diagnosed with a GBM at twenty-one while a thriving junior at UGA. He traversed the globe, pursued his education, and proudly graduated before passing away at twenty-four. He left behind a legacy of unwavering determination and a family resolved to act on it.
KMF partners with doctors and researchers at the Duke Brain Tumor Center to fund innovative research on the most aggressive forms of brain cancer.
