The Kennedy and Linn-Mar girls soccer teams will meet in a special game at Cedar Rapids Kennedy High School on Thursday night to boost the fight against cancer.

This is the sixth straight year the Cougars and Lions have dedicated their contest to benefit cancer awareness and to raise money for cancer victims and survivors. This year's proceeds will be donated to the Hall-Perrine Cancer Center.

The soccer players have been selling ribbons, which will be attached to the fence at the Kennedy soccer field in honor of a person who has suffered from cancer. Both teams will wear special jerseys for the match.

Kennedy is ranked No.2 and Linn-Mar is ranked No.4 in girls soccer in Class 3A.
