About:
For 18 consecutive years, Mineola Girls Soccer has demonstrated their commitment to Breast Cancer Awareness through their annual Think Pink Soccer Game. This year marks another meaningful game as the team, dressed in pink socks, takes to the field in their effort to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer. Pink shirts are ordered and sold, and raffles are held, with all proceeds going directly to Breast Cancer Awareness efforts.
In the week leading up to the big game, the Girls Varsity Soccer team engages the community by visiting local elementary schools to host soccer clinics. These clinics serve as a way to promote the game, encourage soccer participation, and spread awareness about breast cancer among younger students, further growing the sport in this soccer-loving town.
The team’s commitment extends beyond the game. On Sunday Octibver 20th, the team participated in the Jones Beach Breast Cancer Walk as a group, concluding a week of impactful events dedicated to breast cancer awareness and community involvement. Their collective efforts showcase the power of sport in driving positive change and supporting important causes.
