There will be a goodwill donation bucket at the entrance of today's match and a tip jar at the concession stand to benefit two local families affeted by childhood cancer. All of the money raised will go to Jenny and Nick Kinkelaar and Jody and Matt Lohman to help with costs from the disease suffered by their children Vivie Kinkelaar and baby Dawson Lohman.

Teutopolis fans are asked to wear gold for Childhood Cancer Awareness and the Effingham fans to wear red for love and support.
