The Lexington Wildcats boys soccer team continued their long-running annual Cats Kick Cancer tournament this weekend.

Day Two started with a check presentation prior to defeating Summerville 5-1 at Wildcat Stadium.

This year’s $3,500 check was presented before the opening game of the tournament by Lexington head coach Will Gettys and District 1 athletic director David Bennett to the foundation’s representative. 

Cats Kick Cancer raises money designated for students and families in Lexington District One who are fighting cancer. Funds are distributed through the Lexington 1 Education Foundation to assist with expenses incurred during treatments, from hospital bills to household needs.
