PHILADELPHIA – Temple women's soccer is partnering with Temple field hockey for in order to raise money for Go4theGoal Foundation. Go4theGoal Foundation is an organization that strives to improve the lives of children battling cancer by providing financial support, developing and implementing unique hospital programs, funding innovative research, and granting personal wishes.
For both teams' home games on Sunday October 2, they will be wearing gold laces to show support. The teams have also set up an account to raise money for the organization. The goal this season is $2,016.
Women's soccer head coach Seamus O'Connor is excited that his team can help support and raise awareness for these heartbreaking diseases.
"We are putting our support behind the Go4theGoal campaign to raise awareness for the need for support for Pediatric Cancer," O'Connor said. "It is a terrible disease which will affect over 15,000 kids. I am so lucky to get to coach the leaders of tomorrow's world and we need to make sure that they are aware of their responsibility to the children of the world to try and make it a better place for them to live in. We chose pediatric cancer as it is a terrible-emotional struggle for families but also very difficult financially for families to pay bills while they are worried about the health of their child. We can help them by spreading the need for donating money to help ease the stress of paying those bills while they are doing whatever it takes to get their child healthy."
