Girls Soccer hosts their first annual Red Card Cancer Game on Wednesday, January 23 at home to benefit the American Cancer Society. The girls will use their cleats, shin guards and soccer ball to help fight cancer. The game is dedicated in memory of Redwood High School friend Marifi Preisendorf, who passed of colorectal cancer last year.
“Everyone has been touched by cancer in some way,” said Jason Vieira, girls soccer varsity coach. “We are honored to be part of the Red Card Cancer program, and excited to use our love for the game of soccer to help raise awareness and funds to help defeat cancer.”
Red Card Cancer unites global soccer players to help defeat the world’s biggest opponent, cancer. Players are selling Red Card cancer bracelets and Red Card pin ups for $1.
Come out and cheer on girls soccer as they take on Lemoore High School. JV will start at 4:30, and the Varsity game will start at 6. A special ceremony to honor cancer patients and remember those lost will happen following the JV game, prior to the Varsity game.
