Fans attending the Lewis County–Keyser football game on Friday, September 4, have a way to support recovery awareness alongside the Minutemen: wear purple.

Amy Gosa issued the invitation in a public community notice shared through County Commissioner Agnes Quinn Queen’s Facebook profile. The notice connects the purple theme with recovery awareness, support and reducing stigma. It asks supporters to take that message into the stands; it does not announce a separate fundraiser or admission requirement.

The varsity boys football matchup is scheduled for 7 p.m. EDT in Weston. That date, time and pairing are independently listed on the NFHS Network event page, so the appeal concerns Friday evening’s game rather than a later fixture.

For people following from home, NFHS Network lists live and on-demand coverage with a subscription prompt. Readers should review the service’s access requirements before planning to watch; the listing does not promise a free stream.

The purple invitation is being reported as a community notice, not as a separately verified school policy or school-sponsored program. Ticket prices and any additional activities associated with the theme were not established in the material reviewed. Fans can read Gosa’s original appeal and check the game listing for later scheduling changes.
