Brookdale Spreads Awareness - Kicks For Cancer

Lincroft, NJ - The Jersey Blues Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) partnered with the Athletics Department to spread awareness and encouraged donations to help support ovarian cancer, also known as, the "Silent Killer."

Both SAAC and the Athletics Department coordinated with OCRA, the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance, to spread ovarian cancer awareness this past month through social media as well as their presence at the men's and women's double-header soccer games on Saturday, October 14th, 2023. OCRA provided informational materials, wristbands, balloons, and stickers to handout to attendees. In return, a large donation has been supplied to the organization from the, Brookdale Kicks for Cancer, OCRA fundraising page as well as the refreshments made available during the games.

SAAC and the Athletics Department would like to thank all of those who supported the cause with their VERY generous donations. For those who would still like to donate, the fundraising page is currently active!

OCRA's Mission: "Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance is dedicated to curing ovarian cancer while improving treatments by advancing innovative science, promoting preventive measures, and advocating, educating and supporting anyone affected by gynecologic cancers to ensure the best possible care and outcomes."
