October
is finally here, so everybody knows what that means, right? It is breast cancer
awareness month! And tomorrow’s game has been deemed our Dig pink match. Not
only is it one of our favorite matches to prepare for, it is also the
most significant since some members of the team have lost family members due to
breast cancer. The Dig Pink match is a fundraising event initiated by the
Side-Out Foundation, which to whom all the proceeds go to. They not only award
grants to medical research organizations, but they also give hope and support
to cancer patients and their families.
The
team (Dan especially) and I have a lot of fun trying to gather everything that
comes in the color pink, and finding a way to pack it in our gym. And with our nails painted pink, our socks
dyed pink, and our skin temporary tattooed pink, we plan on using the same fire
and drive cancer patients fight with every day, to battle our opponents the
East Stroudsburg warriors. We humbly accept that this game is about a cause
much bigger than us, and I am really proud of my team and every other team in
the PSAC in their awareness and fundraising efforts. It is really cool to be a
part of a program that cares.With that said, COME OUT TO OUR
GAME loud and proud, and in pink! There will be t-shirts for sale, 50/50 raffle
tickets, and a donation jar all awaiting your generosity!
