Honoring the Legacy of Alex Wilcox & Spreading Awareness

Thunderbolts honor Alex Wilcox legacy and raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer.

Alex Wilcox #8
July 1, 1999 – June 25, 2018

Thunderbolts Softball honors Alex Wilcox’s legacy to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer. Alex was a member of the Birmingham Thunderbolts Premier and continued her academic and athletic career at Mississippi State. She inspired the nation with her courageous fight against ovarian cancer. That fight ultimately took her life in the summer of 2018. Alex’s #8 Bolts Jersey was officially retired and is displayed at the Bolts Facility to serve as reminder to her Bolts sisters of the Birmingham Thunderbolts Premier pledge.

In honor of Alex and to spread awareness of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer every Saturday all Bolts will wear our teal jerseys.

Join in the fight and get involved:
