Moorestown High School Powder Puff Football Game Targets Lymphatic Malformation

It wasn’t difficult for the Moorestown High School Interact Club to designate a charity for this year’s Powder Puff Flag Football Tournament.

“It was not difficult to select a charity this year. We felt that, as seniors, it was important to contribute to the fundraising efforts of a fellow classmate,” Powder Puff Committee Chair Rebecca Gowen said in an email on Monday.

That charity is Kennedy’s Cause, and the fight is against Lymphatic Malformation.

The game between two all-girl football teams coached by male students takes place at the MAC gymnasium at Moorestown High School Wednesday night, from 7 p.m.-9 p.m. A staff team from the school district will also compete against an all-star student team.

Tickets can be purchased on the day of the event for $5, and proceeds benefit Kennedy’s Cause (www.kennedyscause.com).

Kennedy’s Cause is a non-profit organization that focuses on bringing awareness to Lymphatic Malformation by supporting research in this area and providing support for families with children dealing with this medical condition.

The Moorestown High School Interact Club is a student-run community service organization, sponsored by Rotary International. The Club continues to raise over $10,000 annually for various charities and leads the entire student body in overall performance of service hours.

The Moorestown High School Interact Club has received many generous donations from local businesses to help make this event a success, the Club said in the email.

Passariello’s Pizzeria & Italian Eatery will be providing pizzas for the concession stand. ShopRite Supermarkets of Cherry Hill, Inc. and Wegmans have also provided gift cards for their respective stores for other food items for the concession stand.

Jersey Mike’s in Moorestown hosted a fundraiser with the Interact Club on Saturday. With the designated coupon and a minimum of a $2 donation, Moorestown High School students, parents, and community members received a free regular-size sub of their choice. All proceeds from this fundraiser with Jersey Mike’s will also benefit Kennedy’s Cause.
