Beekmantown High School’s Soccer Teams Score Big for Breast Cancer Awareness

Beekmantown, a small yet vibrant community, truly came together on October 1 when the local high school’s boys and girls soccer teams took the field for a cause that touches many lives: breast cancer awareness. Hosting their annual Breast Cancer Awareness games, these young athletes showed that it’s about much more than just winning — it’s about making a difference.

A Goal Beyond the Game

With the mighty Northeastern Clinton Central School (NCCS) as their opponents, the Beekmantown teams not only played to win but also aimed to raise funds to support breast cancer treatment and awareness efforts. They managed to pull together an impressive total of around $1,500 during this heartwarming event, which will be split between two crucial local charities—Champlain Valley Physicians’ Hospital’s Fitzpatrick Cancer Center and Northern New York State’s Guardians of the Ribbon. These organizations provide vital support and resources for those touched by breast cancer.

A Personal Touch

Among the players taking the field were twins Carly and Olivia Hagadorn. Both young athletes shared a deep personal connection to the cause, having seen their grandmother and mother endure battles with breast cancer. Their stories highlight just how close to home this issue can be and underscore the importance of raising awareness and funds for all those affected by this disease.

Goals on the Field

The girls’ soccer game was nothing short of exciting. The Hagadorn twins were at the heart of the action, showcasing their talent and determination. Olivia led the charge scoring a fantastic hat trick, netting three critical goals during the match. Carly also made her mark with one goal and an assist, contributing to a decisive 4-1 victory over NCCS. The energy was electric, and the stands were filled with supportive fans, all rallying behind a cause that matters.

Once the girls concluded their game, the boys’ team took to the pitch, eager to continue the spirit of success. They played with determination and grit, managing to secure a 2-0 shutout victory against NCCS. Dylan Brown kicked things off with a masterful direct kick for the first goal, and Evan Latinville sealed the deal with a follow-up penalty kick, adding another goal to the scoreboard.

Kicking Off Breast Cancer Awareness Month

This event was not only a celebration of soccer but also served as a powerful kickoff to Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. Communities across the country will come together throughout the month to shed light on breast cancer, to remember those impacted by the disease, and to fight for a future where fewer families face the challenges associated with cancer. Beekmantown has set an inspiring tone with their fantastic fundraising initiative.

A Unified Community

Beekmantown High School’s soccer teams exemplified what it means to play for something greater than oneself. Their commitment to supporting breast cancer awareness sends a resounding message of unity and hope. It’s wonderful to see young individuals stepping up to make a change, proving that they can indeed make a big difference in the lives of others, one game at a time. Their success on the field is a testament to their talent, but their fundraising efforts mean so much more than just the score.
