Athletics Bring Awareness to Breast Cancer at School Board Meeting

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month—the most common cancer in women today. There are about 15,042 new cases in Florida each year, and about 160 in Citrus County alone.
 
Over the years many athletic programs have brought attention to this cause. CRHS swim Coach Chuck Gatton used this year’s annual rival meet between CRHS and LHS to be a Breast Cancer Awareness Meet. It was held last week on Oct 3, 2019. A rival meet became a meet of two teams coming together for one cause. The teams wore special PINK swim caps for the event with their team’s logo on the side. The team had donation challenge jars and the teams raised about $500 for Breast Cancer Awareness.
 
We were also honored to have Ashlyn Hunnicutt a CRHS, Junior, Swimmer & Diver who sang the National Anthem at the swim meet to come to sing it for the School Board.
 
Thank you to all the coaches and student-athletics across our county for having these events and bringing better awareness to Breast Cancer.
