PLAIN TWP. — GlenOak plans to turn Bob Commings Field pink on Friday when the Golden Eagles host Louisville in a high school football game.

The two teams are committed to raising money through events and collections for the Josette Beddell Memorial Foundation, which provides financial support to those facing hardships due to their fight with breast cancer.

Organized by the GlenOak Football KickOff Club, events for the night include a temporary tattoo station, sale of pink items for proceeds to be donated, collections of donations by GlenOak and Louisville cheerleaders at halftime, giveaways by Aultman Hospital's Breast Care Center and a previous fundraiser of GlenOak Football "Tackle the Cure" T-shirts and sweatshirts with Liquid Custom Apparel & Gifts.

The Josette Beddell Memorial Foundation and Aultman Hospital's Breast Care Center will provide information on their causes.
