Kentwood High School girls soccer hosted Eastlake High School at French Field on Saturday for the seventh annual Kicks for a Cure benefit match.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The varsity teams, which sported pink and white uniforms and played with a pink ball, tied 2-2.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The event featured raffle baskets, prizes and a bake sale. Danny Waltman, goalkeeper from the Tacoma Stars, and Beverly Yanez, midfielder for the Seattle Reign, attended Saturday’s event and signed autographs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In the previous six years, Kicks for the Cure has raised about $25,000 for the MultiCare Women Get It fund, which helps women who can’t otherwise afford it the opportunity to receive breast cancer testing that can save their lives.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kicks for the Cure organizer Tara Radford said so far this year the event has brought in nearly $4,000, including $1,900 from Saturday’s raffle and $1,200 from a carwash in September.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
