BAY RIDGE
Battle breast cancer
It was a touchdown for the varsity and junior varsity members of the Clippers at Xaverian High School. The teams hosted a fund-raiser for breast cancer research while taking on the Poly Prep Blue Devils on Oct. 19. In addition to wearing pink socks and belts, the team raised more than $2,500, which benefitted the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute in Somerville, N.J. The team also played for Kathleen Prasenski, who is battling the disease and is the grandma of team member Matthew Prasenski, class of 2016.
Standing O says, “Thanks for being pink and sending out good vibes to Kathleen for a full recovery.”
