ONU soccer teams "Kicks for a Cause" on Saturday

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, October 11, 2013

The Ohio Northern men's and women's soccer programs have joined forces again to host the fourth annual "Kicks for a Cause" fundraiser.

The event, which raised close to $1,000 last year, will take place during the OAC double header against Baldwin Wallace on Saturday, Oct. 12.

The Kicks for a Cause event began as a way to raise awareness and give back towards all forms of cancer.

All of the proceeds from the event will benefit the American Cancer Society.

Both the men's and women's teams will warm up in Kicks for a Cause t-shirts, which were designed by sophomore women's soccer team member Hannah Moloney.
