This week’s Blackbaud Non-Profit of the Match is the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). September is Leukemia and Lymphoma awareness month giving the NPOTM added importance.
The Battery is auctioning off game-worn, limited edition orange Holy City FC jerseys in an effort to raise money for the LLS. In addition, Rachel Darling will act as honorary captain for the match.
Rachel, 8, was diagnosed with acute lymphomblastic leukemia in March of 2015. She started chemotherapy at MUSC Children’s Hospital earlier this week and will have to continue treatments for a year and a half. Rachel is a soccer lover and looks forward to returning to the sport and her other favorite activities when she recovers.
Rachel’s family have praised her for her positivity, grace, and strength through her difficult journey. One of Rachel’s biggest wishes is to help give back and change the world of cancer. Join the Battery in helping Rachel achieve her dream by bidding on Saturday night’s jerseys on Bidr. The auction is now open, click here to get involved.
Fans can also us the promo code LLS when purchasing tickets online here to donate to the Society.
Look for Rachel Saturday night as she leads the Battery onto the field for the national anthem. We’re excited to have her be a part of our team this weekend!
