Haddonfield, Haddon Heights Football Teams to Battle Cancer Thanksgiving Day

Both the Haddonfield and Haddon Heights high school football teams will “Lace Up 4 Pediatric Cancer” during their Thanksgiving Day matchup.

Funds raised during the game, to be played at Haddon Heights at 11 a.m. Thanksgiving morning, will help support Go4theGoal’s programs that benefit local children and families battling pediatric cancers.

“Thanksgiving is the perfect time for us to give thanks for all the healthy children in our lives and to keep in our thoughts all those who are battling cancer and other illnesses,” Beth Stefanacci, Founding Director of Go4theGoal, said. “We started the Lace Up 4 Pediatric Cancer campaign because of the outcry from athletes that wanted a way to kids in their communities with cancer. We are grateful to have such a strong show of support from local coaches and players at this time of year.”

Other teams in South Jersey that will participate include:

• Deptford High School
• Schalick High School
• Cumberland Regional High School
• Lindenwold High School
• Cherokee High School
• Seneca High School
