The annual Love Moto Stop Cancer Supercross race returns next week as Round 12 of the 2026 Monster Energy SMX World Championship Series and Monster Energy Supercross season takes over The Dome at America’s Center on April 4. This year’s marquee St. Jude partnership event heads to St. Louis after previous stops in Tampa, Nashville, East Rutherford, and Indianapolis.
A hallmark of the Love Moto Stop Cancer initiative is the St. Jude patient‑inspired artwork featured on racers’ bikes, gear, and team graphics each year. On this day, the industry comes together in a special way to celebrate the cause by featuring the custom artwork created by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital patients—symbolizing hope and honoring children undergoing treatment. These one‑of‑a‑kind race‑used items will be donated directly to the annual Love Moto Stop Cancer Online Auction, a long‑standing tradition that has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to support St. Jude’s mission of Finding Cures. Saving Children.

This year’s Love Moto Stop Cancer Online Auction will run April 27 through May 11, giving fans worldwide the opportunity to bid on exclusive race‑worn gear and autographed memorabilia featured in St. Louis. Past auctions have featured more than 200 unique items donated by top SMX athletes and partners, contributing significantly to St. Jude’s fundraising efforts and demonstrating the industry’s deep commitment to supporting children and families facing childhood cancer.
Supercross’ partnership with St. Jude continues to grow each year, with the racing community having raised more than $3 million for St. Jude patients and families through key initiatives like the Love Moto Stop Cancer race, Kick Start for a Cause, the Rocky Mountain ATVMC Golf Tournament, and the ongoing text-to-donate t-shirt campaign. Fans attending Round 12 can visit the St. Jude activation in FanFest for a chance to take home this year’s Love Moto Stop Cancer T-shirt or visit Supercrosslive.com/stjude to participate in any of this year’s fundraising campaigns. As the racing intensifies on April 4, the event will again highlight the sport’s unified commitment to giving back—ensuring that families at St. Jude never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food.
