On October 1, 2024, we will be hosting our third annual “Purple Game”.  We began hosting this as an opportunity to raise funds for The Melissa Lese Scholarship Fund, which was established to honor the memory of Melissa. 

Melissa was the ultimate soccer Mom not missing a single game and was a supporter of all of the girls on the field.  She was not just a cheerleader but was involved in supporting the team as a member of the booster club and served as the Booster Club President.

Melissa unfortunately lost her battle with pancreatic cancer in August of 2022.  This scholarship was established in her name so that her spirit will live on at Dallastown and to give a deserving senior soccer student help in pursuing their educational goals.

Opportunities to donate to this fund will be available on October 1 via cash or check made out to the Dallastown Girls Soccer Booster Club with Melissa Lese in the memo.  Checks can also be mailed to Carol Alex at 627 Harvest Drive Dallastown, PA 17313.  Baked goods and pancreatic cancer bracelets will be available for purchase with the proceeds going to the Melissa Lese Scholarship Fund.

We know cancer has affected each of us in different ways and we want to take an opportunity to recognize some of these special people on October 1 during our purple game.  Players and coaches wishing to play in honor of or memory of an individual in their life affected form any form of cancer should fill out the google link below.  Don’t forget to indicate if this person will be attending the game so we can have a flower for each of them.  The forms are due by September 22, 2024.

Remember to wear your purple on October 1st.  Please reach out to Jeanette Leiphart with any questions.
