The Noblesville Millers Boys and Girls soccer teams have been leading fundraising efforts to raise money and awareness for breast cancer, directly benefitting the Megan S. Ott Foundation.
Pink Out Nights will take place through September after selling more than 200 shirts by Aug. 19.
The girls team has also been working hard to make fleece blankets to put with gift baskets for cancer patients, while the boys team held a car wash during the pre-season. For donations, the teams will continue to give out pink flags for anyone to write the name of loved ones that have or have had breast cancer. Flags will be displayed at each home game.
All proceeds raised by the teams will go to the foundation.
Based in Noblesville, the Megan S. Ott foundation was created for the Noblesville High School grad, who would later obtain a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and teach at Hazel Dell Elementary.
The foundation serves the greater Indianapolis area and works directly with Riverview Health to provide grants based on individual needs, assisting with utility and medical bills, rent and mortgage payments, prescription drugs, school supplies and meals.
