LHS Soccer Presents Check to Palmetto Health

The Lexington High School boys' varsity and junior varsity teams will present $4,000 to Palmetto Health before a 6 p.m. varsity contest today against Northwestern.

The money supports CAMP KEMO, a program of the Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital. The program gives children battling cancer, along with their siblings, the chance for summer fun at a week-long camp, according to a release from Lexington School District One.

Physicians and nurses from the Children’s Hospital and volunteers staff the camp.

A young patient who receives treatment at the Center, his family and Palmetto Health representatives will attend the game to accept the donation, the district says.

Last year the team donated $2,500 to CAMP KEMO.
