The
2012 Ephrata Mounts baseball team has entered the fight against “The Silent
Killer”, Ovarian Cancer, in an effort to raise awareness of this deadly disease.
This
year, an estimated 21,990 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with ovarian
cancer. Of those women, approximately15,460 will lose the battle. In
October 2011, ovarian cancer took the life of Linda Shelley, mother of Mounts
Head Coach Adrian Shelley.
To
advance research for a cure, the Mounts baseball program has partnered with
Ovations, a non-profit organization aimed at taking a stand against Ovarian
Cancer. Through a t-shirt fundraiser, seven local high school baseball
programs, including Ephrata, will be selling T-shirts, with $10 of each
purchase going directly to Ovations (click here to view the
Ovations web page created for our fundraiser!). Our
players and coaches, as well as our opponent, will be wearing these shirts for
pre-game warm-ups.
Let's all GO TEAL for the playoffs!
Come out and support the Mounts as they enter the Lancaster-Lebanon League. Quarterfinal game vs. Pequea Valley will be Saturday, May 12 4PM at War Memorial Field.
