 Fort Bend Junior Service League (FBJSL) proudly accepted a check from Eclipse Soccer Club in the amount of $6,772, representing the results of the club’s fundraising campaign to support breast cancer awareness month in October.
The League will use Eclipse’s donation and that of other partnering organizations, including Methodist Sugar Land Hospital, to further the community’s fight against breast cancer. FBJSL is working with the American Cancer Society in an ongoing, collaborative effort to provide financial support for programs and services designed to improve quality of life, provide access to early detection and treatment, and diminish suffering for Fort Bend County breast cancer patients.
Eclipse raised the money through their inaugural Score for the Cause fundraiser, which had two components. The soccer club sold pink Score for the Cause t-shirts, which brightened up Lost Creek Park as club members proudly sported them on the field for their October matches. Additional funds were raised through parent and team donations for goals scored during the month of October. As title sponsor for Eclipse and as a partnering organization with FBJSL for promoting breast cancer awareness, Methodist Sugar Land Hospital led the way in uniting the three groups. The three organizations are looking forward to continuing this partnership next year when Score for the Cause returns.
Any school, business or organization interested in partnering to raise funds to further breast cancer treatment and awareness is encouraged to contact FBJSL at info@fbjsl.com or 281-636-6272. FBJSL is a 501(c)(3) organization committed to promoting volunteerism, to developing the potential of women and to improving the Fort Bend County community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.
