Charlotte Independence News Release
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Charlotte Independence today donated the proceeds from their Breast Cancer Awareness Jersey Auction to the Novant Health Cancer Institute Buddy Kemp Support Center. The pink, black and grey kits were worn by the Jacks on Saturday, October 16 during Breast Cancer Awareness Night presented by Novant Health.
"It's an important part of our values, doing good works in our community and a commitment that goes beyond playing great soccer," stated Tim Schuldt, President and COO of the Charlotte Independence. "We're honored to partner with Novant Health, our players and our supporters to raise and donate these funds to a cause that has impacted so many of us."
The October campaign was focused on increasing awareness and encouraging early detection mammograms in the Charlotte community. Breast cancer patients and survivors from the Buddy Kemp Support Center, and beyond, were invited to attend the match.
The Novant Health Cancer Institute Buddy Kemp Support Center is designed to help patients and their families cope with cancer. From a comfortable, home-like setting to a variety of counseling services and even a boutique with beautiful wigs for patients who have lost their hair from chemo treatments, they help patients feel empowered to manage the changes that come after a cancer diagnosis.

The funds raised from the jersey auction will help support our patients at the Buddy Kemp Cancer Support Center with transportation resources and other pressing needs as they navigate through their care," said Barbara LiPira, Senior Director, Novant Health Cancer Institute.
