Over 300 soccer players took over Temple University’s Aramark Student Training and Recreation Complex Sunday in memory of 7-year-old Elora Joyce Khan.

The day of competition and sportsmanship brought together 30 local teams in the “Cleats Out for Elora” Charity Tournament to advocate for families who are battling pediatric brain cancer.

Khan’s parents say she was a joyful and bright first-grader at St. Anastasia School, who loved the game of soccer. In 2023, she died after fighting an aggressive pediatric brain tumor known as Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG).
