About:
The commitment to breast cancer awareness continues as the Xaverian soccer team, alongside community members, raises funds for Runway for Recovery, supporting families affected by breast cancer and promoting awareness throughout the season.
The season kicked off with a fundraising game at Prep on September 18, marking the start of initiatives that include special events, community collaborations, and players wearing awareness uniforms at all home matches in October. Over the past three years, the partnership between the programs has raised more than $20,000 for Runway for Recovery.
Runway for Recovery is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing families with ongoing support throughout their journey with breast cancer. Rather than focusing solely on a cure, Runway emphasizes improving the lives of those currently affected by the disease, offering resources, services, and community events that celebrate survivors, honor legacies, and fund families who have experienced loss. Their mission is grounded in the belief that no one experiences breast cancer alone.
Xaverian’s efforts highlight how athletics can serve as a platform for positive change, inspiring players, fans, and the broader community to make a meaningful impact. Support their ongoing campaign through their fundraising page: Xaverian Soccer – Runway for Recovery.
