MEDWAY — Athletic Director Jeff Parcells and Principal John Murray are proud to share that the second Stick it to Cancer field hockey fundraiser, held at Medway High School, raised more than $3,600 to support the American Cancer Society.

The fundraiser took place on Wednesday, Oct. 22, during the team’s home game on Lamson Field, where the Medway High School Field Hockey Team defeated Medfield High School 3-0.

Throughout the evening, attendees took part in a 50/50 raffle and purchased pink ribbons to show their support. Players also filled out cards in honor or memory of loved ones affected by cancer, which were displayed near the field as a moving tribute throughout the game.

The $3,600 raised at this year’s Stick it to Cancer event brings its two-year fundraising total to $6,100 in support of the American Cancer Society. The event was first held in 2023, not held in 2024, but returned for 2025.

“It was special to see our players come together not only to compete, but to play for something bigger than themselves — for family members, friends, and community members impacted by cancer,” said Head Coach Abigail Clark. “Two years ago, they raised $2,500, so it was nice to see that we could top that at this year’s Stick it to Cancer.”

Medway High School staff and administrators thanked everyone who contributed to the success of this year’s fundraiser, including players, families, fans and community members who supported the cause.

“We’re so proud of the field hockey team for their dedication to this event and to making a difference,” said Athletic Director Jeff Parcells. “They represented Medway with pride both on and off the field.”

“This event showcases the compassion and spirit of our student-athletes,” said Principal John Murray. “They continue to find ways to support important causes and bring our community together.”
