The UNBC Timberwolves Women’s Soccer team will take to the pitch in a way they never have before.
For their 6:00 pm Canada West clash with Trinity Western on Friday, the Timberwolves will wear brand-new pink cancer themed kits as part of the program’s first-ever Kick for the Cure Night.
Down each side are the names of parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and colleagues who have been affected by cancer. Some are survivors. Some have since passed away.
Every name on the jersey was chosen by a current or former member of the soccer team.
“Seeing the names of loved ones on a UNBC Women’s Soccer jersey is a powerful reminder of why we play — to honor their stories and to inspire hope as we push toward finding a cure for cancer,” said Loralyn Murdoch, Director of Athletics and Recreation at UNBC.
“The Kick for the Cure initiative is the first of its kind in Canada West, and we are grateful to our current players and alumni who came together to create something everlasting.”
