WSOC 4 PM: UNC-A @ App...Ted Mack
MSOC 7 PM: Loyola of Maryland @ App...Ted Mack
These two matches are being played in recognition of Julie O'Keefe (Mrs. Jason O'Keefe) and her courageous fight against Ocular Melanoma (OM).
Ocular melanoma (melanoma in or around the eye) is a very rare and very serious type of cancer that develops in the cells that produce pigment. Pigment is the substance that gives color to your skin, hair and eyes. Just as you can develop melanoma on your skin, you can also develop it inside your eye or on your conjunctiva. The survival rate for OM is significantly increased with early diagnosis and aggressive treatment.
