Central Bucks Soccer Teams to Hold Kick For Pink Game

The Central Bucks West and East Girls’ Soccer teams, in partnership with Doylestown Hospital, will hold a Kick for Pink game on Monday, October 19 at War Memorial Field in Doylestown.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, the event will raise funds to support women in our community who are being treated for breast cancer. The event will acknowledge women who are breast cancer survivors, have been affected by breast cancer, or are representing a woman who lost her life to the disease.

Two soccer games will be held during the event. The junior varsity game will begin at 5:30 p.m. and the varsity game will begin at 7:00 p.m. The Central Bucks West and East Girls’ Soccer teams invite members of the community to attend the games to show their support for breast cancer patients who are receiving treatment at the Doylestown Health Cancer Institute at Doylestown Hospital.

Children ages 11 and under and young soccer players are invited to participate in a half-time shoot-out against the Central Bucks East and West goalies. Those who wish to participate in the shoot-out should wear their club jersey.

During the game the CB West and East teams will sell Pink Out t-shirts, wristbands and random drawing tickets for a “Super Soccer” basket. The concession stand will be open for the purchase of snacks and refreshments.

All proceeds from the events will directly support breast cancer patients who are receiving treatment at the Doylestown Health Cancer Institute. Funds will help patients who cannot afford wigs, are underinsured or are not insured for cancer medications or treatment. Local businesses and organizations are invited to donate or sponsor Kick for Pink in order to honor and support women affected by breast cancer and help with the costs of the events.
