The Bob Jones Patriots football team will take on Florence on Friday, September 20 at 7 pm. The school will also raise awareness about childhood cancer and recognize the 2024 State Championship baseball team with a ring ceremony at halftime. It’s Neon Night, so be sure to wear your brightest clothes. Glowsticks and glow necklaces will be handed out at the game.

According to the National Cancer Institute, in 2024, a total of 14,910 children and adolescents ages 0 to 19 will be diagnosed with cancer, and 1,590 will die of the disease in the United States. Thankfully, there have been improvements in treatment, and the American Cancer Society states that about “85% of children with cancer live five years or more after being diagnosed with cancer.”
