Soccer teams to Play for the Cure this weekend

The Lawrence University men’s and women’s soccer teams are using this weekend’s matches to Play for the Cure.

Lawrence hosts Knox College at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, and the Vikings host Lake Forest College at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Sunday. All matches are played at Whiting Field West.

Play for the Cure is a Midwest Conference initiative to promote awareness for early detection of cancer and raise funds dedicated to cancer research and prevention. Funds raised this weekend by the Lawrence soccer teams will be donated to the Fox Valley Brain Coalition.

T-shirt sales and 50/50 raffles are planned for the matches.
