The Molloy College softball program announced today that on Tuesday, April 22, at the Lions’ home doubleheader versus the University of Bridgeport at Bob Klein Field in Rockville Centre, N.Y., the team will be raising money for cancer awareness and research with “Hits For A Cure” in conjunction with the National Fastpitch Coaches Association’s (NFCA) Strikeout Cancer initiative.
Prior to the day of the game, the Lions will be collecting pledges from family and friends within the Molloy community. Each hit recorded in the April 22 doubleheader will result in a 100% donation to the American Cancer Society.
For more information about this initiative, please visit www.nfca.org and click on the Strikeout Cancer logo on the right-hand side.
If you would like to help out this great cause, a donation can be made to the Athletics’ department (check payable to: Molloy College Athletics). The department will then pool together all the donations and send one donation check to the American Cancer Society.
From the NFCA’s website:
Join the American Cancer Society and the NFCA in the Strikeout Cancer Program! Since starting the Strikeout Cancer initiative over ten years ago, NFCA membership teams have raised tens of thousands of dollars to support the fight against cancer. In addition to fundraised dollars, this initiative has provided a platform to raise awareness for breast cancer as well as support for women’s cancer research.
