n recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Lexington Sporting Club’s (LSC) USL Super League soccer team will take the field in special edition pink uniforms to support the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center during their home match against Carolina Ascent FC on Oct. 6. This initiative, aimed at raising awareness and supporting breast cancer research, further strengthens the collaboration between the club and the UK Markey Cancer Center.
“We appreciate the opportunity to partner with Lexington Sporting Club on this meaningful project,” said Markey Cancer Center Director B. Mark Evers, MD. “These pink jerseys raise awareness on the field, and will help support Markey Cancer Center's breast cancer research, advancing our mission to improve patient care.”
On Oct. 9, the signed, game worn pink uniforms will be sold on the LSC Team Shopwebsite, with a portion of sales benefiting the UK Markey Cancer Center. This sale provides fans with the opportunity to own a piece of LSC history while directly contributing to the fight against breast cancer.
“We are proud to wear pink for such an important cause,” said Kim Shelton, CEO of Lexington Sporting Club. “Not only are we showing our solidarity with those affected by cancer, but we are also contributing to research and patient care through the auction of these kits. We invite our fans and the Lexington community to join us in making a difference.”
