Amherst Women's Soccer celebrates the memory of Erica Katz, the mother of Amherst Hitchcock Fellow Assistant Coach and former player, Liza Katz. Erica passed away in June 2023, at the age of 51, after living fully and bravely for nine years with brain cancer.

In Erica’s honor, Amherst Women’s Soccer wishes to support rare cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center through Cycle for Survival - an annual fundraising effort that Erica and her family supported for many years before her passing. 100% of all donations will go directly to help researchers at MSK develop new treatments, launch groundbreaking clinical trials, and bring hope to people with rare cancers.

If you wish to make a donation directly to Cycle for Survival, please contact Marisa Maneri at MSK (347-931-8638, manerim@mskcc.org at MSK).
