Football teams across South New Jersey are going to Lace Up 4 Pediatric Cancer for their Thanksgiving Football games. Funds raised by these teams will help support Go4theGoal’s programs that benefit local children and families battling pediatric cancers.
“Thanksgiving is the perfect time for us to give thanks for all the healthy children in our lives and to keep in our thoughts all those who are battling cancer and other illnesses,” said Beth Stefanacci, Founding Director of Go4theGoal. “We started the Lace Up 4 Pediatric Cancer campaign because of the outcry from athletes that wanted a way to kids in their communities with cancer. We are grateful to have such a strong show of support from local coaches and players at this time of year.”
The following teams will be Lace Up 4 Pediatric Cancer during their Thanksgiving Football games:
- Deptford High School
- Schalick High School
- Cumberland Regional High School
- Lindenwold High School
- Haddonfield Memorial High School
- Haddon Heights High School

Many of these teams have a personal connection to pediatric cancer, having had classmates and even teammates either battling cancer now or in the recent past.
