Field hockey adds gold to uniforms Sunday

 

This weekend, the Penn field hockey team will be fighting two battles.

If you head to Franklin Field this Sunday at noon, you’ll see the Quakers sporting gold on their uniforms as they take on Brown. The Quakers are raising awareness for osteogenic sarcoma, a high-grade type of bone cancer, and honoring ex-captain Kate Gray, who is recovering since being diagnosed with the disease — read her letter about her fight here.

Gray graduated from the nursing school in 2005 and captained Penn's last Ivy League championship team in 2004.

If you show up, you can also help the Red and Blue’s cause by donating money to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for sarcoma research.
