About:

Our beloved Athletic Trainer, Joe Killeen has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and between last Spring and this Fall so many of our teams have decided to run fundraisers in his honor.  I am so proud of all their efforts, and I know it means the world to Joe as well. As you can see from the attached, this Fall alone we raised over $10,000.

 

Girls Varsity Soccer $2,150

The girls completed a fundraiser for pancreatic and pediatric cancer.  

One of our players, Ashlynn McGrorty’s twin brother (Matthew  

McGrorty) died of cancer at a young age, and our Athletic Trainer,  

Joe Killeen was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year. The  

entire team created 5 baskets to raffle off at our 9/30 game. The  

whole team posted flyers on social media and sold raffle tickets for  

the month of September. The team raised a total of $2,150. The  

team decided to donate to both Pancreatic and Pediatric cancer  

research.  

 

Kickline $2,245

The JV and Varsity Kickline teams participated in the Making Strides  

Against Cancer Walk on October 17th. Together the teams raised  

$2,245 and that day we walked in support of Maria Nartowicz, the  

mother of one of our Varsity team members who is currently battling  

cancer. The team also wore purple shirts to support our trainer, Joe  

Killeen and raise awareness for pancreatic cancer 

 

Varsity Cheerleaders $460

Our team captains approached the coaches to donate money in  

honor of Joe Killeen, our Athletic Trainer. Each Cheerleader donated  

$20 and wore purple ribbons in their hair for pancreatic cancer. 

 

Varsity/JV Football $2,600

This season, the entire football program (JV/Varsity) raised $2,600.  

The team fundraised in honor of our athletic trainer, Joe Killeen.  

Along with all the players and coaches making contributions. We  

held a 50/50 raffle at our final regular season home game. We  

wanted to get the word out to our community, so we created a  

fundraising graphic that players shared with family and friends, along  

with posting it to the football program’s twitter account. We also  

ordered purple game socks to wear along with the custom ribbon  

decal made for our helmets. It was our small way to bring awareness  

to pancreatic cancer. Along with showing our family member Joe,  

that he doesn’t fight his battle alone. 

 

Boys and Girls Volleyball $2,550

The Boys and Girls Volleyball teams worked together, along with the  

Explorations Club at BHS, to raise money for the Side Out Foundation  

during their annual Dig Pink games. All four teams sold pink t-shirts  

that read, “In This Family, No One Fights Alone”, sold pink  

wristbands and sold pink themed baked goods. During all four  

games, the gym was packed with fans wearing pink, all rallying to  

support breast cancer awareness, Our teams are proud to announce  

that we will be donating $2,500 to the Side Out Foundation from our  

Dig Pink 2021 Initiative. 

 

Total Collected $10,005
