Women's Soccer And SAAC Collaborate For ALS Awareness

Lincroft, NJ - The Brookdale Community College women's soccer team and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee took part in a collaborative effort to spread awareness for ALS. Both SAAC and the team advocated for ALS by wearing ALS designed team warm-up shirts for their conference match-up against the RCSJ-Gloucester Roadrunners.

The Jersey Blues are also utilizing the Brookdale Athletics social media outlets to spread awareness in the community about ALS.

"Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating disease that is progressively neurodegenerative. It affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The disorder affects nerves and muscles, gradually impacting a person's ability to speak, swallow, breathe, and walk - every aspect of their life."
