Mentor High School Soccer Teams Kicking For Cancer Cure Again

The boys and girls soccer teams will be, once again, raising money for cancer treatment and research as part of Kick for the Cure.

Both the boys' and girls' teams, varsity and junior varsity, are selling T-shirts for $10 that double as tickets to all their games. All the proceeds from the shirts' sales go to University Hospitals' Seidman Cancer Center, specifically for brain cancer research.

The students in honor of a teammate’s family member who had been diagnosed with brain cancer. 

The boys teams -- both varsity and junior varsity -- will host their Kick for the Cure games against Hudson this Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the girls teams will play Sept. 15 against Mayfield High School.

In both cases, the junior varsity games start at 5 p.m. and the varsity at 7 p.m. The T-shirt serves as tickets to both varsity and JV games.

At the games, there will also be a Chinese auction, 50/50 raffle and bake sale to raise money for the cause.

Additionally, the girls soccer team is hosting a Kick For The Cure Car Wash from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday at the Marathon gas station at the corner of Munson and Center Street.

Last year, the Cardinals soccer teams raised more than $5,000 for the Seidman Cancer Center.
