Pink Out Breast Cancer Awareness Soccer | Wildcats 2025

Pink Out Breast Cancer Awareness Soccer is our program’s call to unite soccer, community, and advocacy this October. While our October 11 game will be the in-game Pink Out celebration, this post explains why it matters, how to get involved, and how Wildcats soccer amplifies awareness in Latrobe.

Why Pink Matters Beyond the Field

Breast cancer touches millions of lives—women, men, families, and friends. In the United States, about 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed in her lifetime, and about 1 in 833 men will also face this diagnosis. By bringing awareness to the soccer field, we show that Wildcats stand for more than goals and wins—we stand for unity, health, and hope.

How the Wildcats Will Honor Pink Out 2025

Wear Pink & Pack the Stands: On Saturday, October 11, fans, players, and staff will wear pink. Let’s fill Rossi Field in pink to show solidarity.
Survivor Recognition: We’ll honor local survivors and those we’ve lost before halftime—listening to stories that inspire and rally us.
Fundraising & Donations: Support our team’s Pink Out Fundraiser for Susan G. Komen. Every dollar goes directly to breast cancer research and patient programs.
Awareness & Education: During the week leading up, we’ll share stories, facts, and prevention tips to encourage everyone in our community to take action.

Breast Cancer Awareness + Soccer = Impact

Sports teams have powerful platforms. By coupling athletic events with social causes, we reach beyond fans and into hearts. In announcing Go Pink for the Cure 2025 earlier this season, we joined a global movement of giving and solidarity while also amplifying local impact. As the Pink Out game approaches, we’re adding momentum with education, resources, and a clear call to action for our Wildcat community.
