INDIANAPOLIS - The IUPUI men's soccer team will be donning pink jerseys on Saturday, Oct. 24 when the Jaguars host Oral Roberts in an effort to raise funds in the fight against breast cancer. It marks the second straight year Head Coach Steve Franklin's squad has hosted a 'Kick for the Cure' event and the match will be part of IUPUI's 'Pack It Pink' weekend. The volleyball team will host a similar event on Friday, Oct. 23 when they host South Dakota State at 7:00 p.m.. 

All of the proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation as Richard Mann P.C., Attorney at Law will be sponsoring the contest. Last year's event raised more than $2,000. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

During the soccer match, some of the players jerseys will be auctioned off while other jerseys will be auctioned off online during the week leading up to the contest. Details of the online auction will be forthcoming. 

"This is a worthy cause and I really hope our fans, our campus and our community will step up and support us in our efforts," Franklin said.

The men's soccer match with ORU is scheduled to kick off at 2:00 p.m. from Kuntz Stadium that Saturday. Check back to www.IUPUIJags.com periodically for additional details.
