19U MAJOR RAISES AWARENESS FOR BREAST CANCER

The 19U Major AAA Girls wore custom white and pink jerseys for breast cancer awareness at their game on Saturday, October 28, 2023.  They played Manhattanville College in a non-league friendly match.

The families raised $1,600 for the Susan G. Komen Foundation (Breast Cancer Foundation | Susan G. Komen®) through donations and a generous matching gift by Bank of America.

“The Susan G. Komen Foundation’s mission is to save lives by meeting the most critical needs in our communities and investing in breakthrough research to prevent and cure breast cancer.

In 1980, Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became the Susan G. Komen^® organization and the beginning of a global movement. What was started with $200 and a shoebox full of potential donor names has now grown into the world’s largest nonprofit source of funding for the fight against breast cancer. To date, we’ve invested nearly $3.6 billion in groundbreaking research, community health outreach, advocacy and programs in more than 60 countries. Our efforts helped reduce deaths from breast cancer by 43% since 1989 and we won’t stop until our promise is fulfilled.”
