The Schuylerville boys and girls varsity soccer teams, along with the varsity club and Old Saratoga Athletic Association, helped raise $2,500 for local families affected by cancer during the Kickin’ Out Cancer game on Tuesday, Oct. 8, as the boys team took on Queensbury.

The fundraiser included basket raffles, a 50/50 raffle, purple balloon sales and an inspirational halftime walk. Several local companies also made donations in support of the event, including Saratoga Apple, King Dairy, Clear Echo Farm, Welcome Stock Farm, Klinger’s Bread Company and Saratoga National.

The boys team chose the color purple in memory of long tenured Board of Education member Mike Booth. Hundreds of people were in attendance to watch and show their support.
