TRUMAN FOOTBALL raises money to fight cancer


Via Dave Herndon of The News-Herald Newspapers

Truman High School is trying to start a new tradition when it comes to football season. During one of the final few games of the season the school hosted a cancer awareness and fundraiser game.

Each player wore a custom uniform with the name of a community member who was touched by cancer in some way, and before the game a ceremony was held to honor cancer survivors and the families of those whose name’s were on the jerseys. The families got to keep the jersey at the end of the game.

“We’re so thankful to the coaches and athletes at Truman High School for creating this opportunity to team up in the fight against cancer. It was a great opportunity for the students, faculty and community to come together to honor and remember those impacted by cancer.” said Maureen Rovas, Senior Manager with the American Cancer Society.

The game raised more that $3,000 for the charity.
