Lemont, Bremen Softball Programs Team Up to 'Strike Out Cancer'

Lemont High School’s varsity softball program is teaming up with Bremen High School to "Strike Out Cancer."

The varsity teams are scheduled to play at 4:30 p.m. on May 14, but the game is more than a regular-season conference match-up. Prior to the game, donations will be collected for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the
American Cancer Society.

Both the varsity and sophomore levels of Lemont’s softball program are working to collect one-time donations to “Strike Out Cancer.” The softball program also will be selling “LHS Strikes Out Cancer” T-shirts for $10 in advance of event.

Members of head coach Chris Traina’s softball program will be collecting donations from their classmates during lunch periods from April 30-May 3. Additionally, team members will be selling $1 ribbons to honor cancer survivors or memorialize those who have lost their lives to cancer. Those ribbons will be on display at the game on May 14.

A perennial South Suburban Conference contender, Lemont’s softball program has managed the spring’s tough weather by getting off to a blazing 13-2 mark. The Indians are 11-1 in league play and battling for an SSC Blue championship.

For more information on how to contribute to the “Strike Out Cancer” event— hether by making a donation or purchasing a T-shirt—contact Traina via e-mail at christinet@lemont.k12.il.us or by phone at 630-243-3834.

Lemont plays its varsity softball games at the Lemont High School Sports Complex, located at 12900 W. 131st Street in Lemont.
