Rocky Hill School's girls' varsity field hockey team has joined with the National Foundation for Cancer Research (NFCR) to participate in its fundraising campaign entitled Play4theCure, in which sports teams across the country donate proceeds from at least one game to NFCR.
The Mariners will be raising funds during their game versus Toll Gate High School Friday, October 11, 2013 beginning at 4 PM on the field hockey field at Rocky Hill School.
This is the fifth season that Rocky Hill has hosted a P4TC game. The team has raised more than $1,000 total and hopes to break their fundraising record this year.
