LTHS is having a 'Pink Out'

Lyons Township High School will its fourth annual "Pink Out" to celebrate the achievements of female student athletes at LTHS and illustrate the charitable efforts of the student body.

This year's events include:

Friday, May 3: Fourth annual Little Lions Pink Out Clinic conducted by the girls soccer program. The Little Lions Clinic is for girls ages 5 to 11 and the entire community is welcome to attend the games on Saturday, May 4. 

Saturday, May 4:  Pink Out games
3 p.m. Girls LAX vs. Marian Catholic 
5 p.m. Girls LT Soccer vs. Glenbard East

All proceeds from the 2013 Little Lions Pink Out Soccer Clinic and Pink Out games will be donated to the Karen Dove Cabral Foundation, which provides financial assistance to young women with breast cancer. It strives to assist daily unmet needs such as integrative medicine, pain medications, childcare, oral chemo, or hotel and travel expenses.

T-shirt sales (more than 2,500) and other fund-raising efforts of the participating girls’ teams have generated more than $16,000 in donations over the past three years to organizations like LTHS’ Relay for Life and the Karen Dove Cabral Foundation.

Used Soccer Equipment Drive

The varsity girls soccer team will also be conducting a used soccer equipment drive. The team is collecting gently used cleats and soccer balls of all sizes.

Donations may be dropped off at the Bennett Field front gate during the varsity Pink Out soccer game on May 4 or on May 3 in the South Campus Fieldhouse foyer at the Pink Out Clinic. The donations will help an under privileged soccer club in Iacu, Brazil. The town recently experienced a devastating flood leaving a need for equipment for all ages. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.
