September is official fall sports “Cancer Awareness Month” in the Georgia High School Association to help fight all types of this dreaded disease. Teams may wear colored jerseys, socks, wristbands, and headbands during a home event to show support for their chosen cancer fundraiser.
As part of September Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, the GHSA is partnering with, Rally Foundation (https://rallyfoundation.org) and CURE Childhood Cancer (https://curechildhoodcancer.org) dedicated to funding targeted research while supporting patients and their families. Please visit their websites, to learn how to Go Gold at one of your upcoming games.
In observance of Breast Cancer “Pink” awareness, the GHSA allows member schools to wear “Pink” at their HOME event.
January (winter) and April (spring) are additional “cancer awareness” months throughout the GHSA scholastic season.
Thank you to everyone in advance for your enthusiasm and action to fight back against cancer.
