The Holley JV and varsity girls soccer teams are hosting Coaches vs. Cancer Games on Tuesday, October 2 at 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. The games will be regular season league games against the Kendall Eagles at Holley’s Sports Boosters Field, The Woodlands. Donations will be accepted at halftime during both games. Pink bracelets and pin-ups also will be sold at the field during each contest.
All proceeds will be given to the local Coaches vs. Cancer program. Coaches vs. Cancer is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) that empowers coaches, their teams and local communities to make a difference in the fight against cancer. When Holley’s Varsity Coach Jill Mann asked Kendall Coach Rick Baldwin if his team would be interested in participating in the event, he agreed without hesitation. Many of the girls will be dedicating this game to a loved one affected by cancer.
“The Holley teams are always willing to give back and are looking forward to helping fight the fight against cancer,” said Mann. On Sunday, September 30 they are taking part in the Breast Cancer Walk in Rochester and two days later they will be competing in the Coaches vs. Cancer Game. “The girls are looking forward to wearing the pink jerseys they purchased for the game. We hope to have a lot of fans show up and to make this an annual event,” Mann added.
