The Colorado Mesa University men's soccer team is participating in an annual nationwide fundraiser from the National Foundation for Cancer Research called "NFCR's All-Stars, which invites sports teams around the country to participate by committing to donate proceeds from at least one game or special event to NFCR.

CMU will be donating proceeds from their match Friday night (October 12) against Colorado School of Mines to NFCR. To raise funds, the team will be auctioning off the special pink and yellow jersey's worn during the game. During the game, the team will also be honoring those who have fought or are currently fighting cancer with activities that fans can participate in.
