Liberty Softball Team to Wear Pink Friday, Encourages Breast Cancer Awareness

Liberty’s school colors are blue and gold but on Friday, the color of choice is pink.

The Liberty softball team is hosting North Carroll today, but they are also taking part in a fundraiser.

The team is participating in the Breast Cancer Awareness fundraiser to support the Susan G. Komen foundation. The Lions have a goal of $500 and have raised $180 so far toward the goal.

The Lions come into the game with a 10-1 record in the county while North Carroll is 8-1.

Liberty is asking spectators to wear pink in support of the Susan G. Komen foundation.

Susan G. Komen Passionately Pink for the Cure® supports life-saving research, education, screenings and treatment programs in the fight to end breast cancer forever.
