About:
For the past three years, the coach of the BR Girls Basketball team has dedicated a game to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer. This heartfelt tribute is in memory of one of their former high school teammates who tragically lost her life to this disease. The coach and their late friend were best friends throughout their childhood and high school years, sharing a passion for soccer that continued into adulthood.
Every year, they participated in an indoor soccer tournament known as Score For A Cure (https://scoreforacure.com), which aims to raise funds for cancer research. The BR Girls Basketball team generously donates proceeds from their games to support this noble cause. During warmups and while on the bench, the team proudly dons specially designed t-shirts to further raise awareness. Additionally, they have joined forces with other schools to extend this initiative to road games, demonstrating their commitment to fighting breast cancer.
