ACPHS Panthers Making Strides to Finish the Fight against Breast Cancer
ACPHS PANTHER INVITATIONAL – ALBANY,
NY
The men's and women's soccer teams will be hosting their annual
Panther Invitational on Friday, September 5, 2014. The main event
will kick off at 3pm as the ACPHS women take on HVIAC rivals, The
King's College. The men's team will play immediately following the
women's game at 5pm. This event will take place at the ACPHS Turf
Soccer Field located at 106 New Scotland Ave.
ACPHS Athletics and the college's chapter of Colleges Against
Cancer (CAC) has joined forces this year and partnered with the
American Cancer Society to raise funds and awareness about Breast
Cancer. The American Cancer Society will be holding its
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Event on Sunday October 19,
2014. The event begins with a kick-off ceremony at 10:45am at
the Washington Park Parade Grounds (corner of Willet Street and
Hudson Avenue) followed by the 5k walk at Noon.
Spectators who attend the Panther Invitational on Friday,
September 5th are encouraged to wear pink in
support of the fight against breast cancer. Everyone that
wears pink will be entered into a drawing to win great ACPHS and
American Cancer Society Gear. There will also be
raffles and concessions for purchase with all funds being donated
to the American Cancer Society. ACS staff will be available
at the games to assist participants with registering their Making
Strides team for the October walk. To support your Panthers and to
donate directly to the ACPHS Women's Soccer Making Strides Against
Breast Cancer team page use the following Web-Address:http://main.acsevents.org/goto/ACPHSWSOCCER.
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is the largest network of
breast cancer awareness events in the nation, uniting nearly 300
communities to finish the fight. Every breast cancer walk and event
is an incredible and inspiring opportunity to honor those who have
battled breast cancer, raise awareness about what we can do to
reduce our breast cancer risk, and raise money to help the American
Cancer Society fight the disease with research, information and
services, and access to mammograms for women who need them.
