Student Athlete Leads an Entire Community to Lace Up 4 Pediatric Cancer

Student Athlete Leads an Entire Community to Lace Up 4 Pediatric Cancer and Support Local Children Battling Cancer

CHERRY HILL, NJ–(Marketwired – September 19, 2014) – In Akron, OH, Hoban High School Junior, Kameryn Zingale, started a movement in her community to join Go4theGoal Foundation’s Lace Up 4 Pediatric Cancer® campaign in partnership with Akron Children’s Hospital. The

funds raised will benefit Showers Family Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders in order to support pediatric oncology patients and their families during their battle with childhood cancer.

Kameryn spent her summer volunteering at Akron Children’s and when she heard about the Lace Up initiative and realized that she could continue making a difference in the lives of the children she volunteered with. Through the joint efforts of Kameryn, Akron Children’s Hospital, and

Go4theGoal Foundation, in just 3 weeks over 4,000 athletes in the Akron area have Laced Up!

“I really hope this catches on to all Fall athletes,” said Kameryn, “And even though Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is September, there is no reason why winter and spring athletes could not join in as well.” For only $5.00 a pair, athletes can Lace Up in Go4theGoal’s Gold laces

and raise awareness and funds for children being treated for cancer at Akron Children’s Hospital.

“The goal of Lace Up 4 Pediatric Cancer® has always been to give communities a way to give back and show their support for children with cancer in their backyard. Through our joint efforts with Akron Children’s Hospital, this goal has never been so clearly achieved,” stated Nate

Mulberg, Go4theGoal’s Athletic Coordinator. “It is our hope that other hospitals will follow Akron’s lead and work with Go4theGoal to get their communities proactive in the fight against pediatric cancer!”
