MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - The West Virginia University women’s soccer team recently raised over $4,000 for breast cancer awareness.
In conjunction with the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center at WVU’s Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center, the Mountaineers played host to a weekend of events on April 24-25 to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research.
The weekend included an eight-team tournament, a shooting clinic for area youth and the second annual Breast Cancer soccer challenge in which members of the women’s soccer team challenged each other to see whose skills were the best.
All of the money raised throughout the weekend, $4, 375.05 in total, went directly to the Betty Puskar Breast Cancer Fund at the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center. Funds are used to support diagnosis and treatment efforts and to provide opportunities to help patients and their families in the midst of battling breast cancer.
