On Tuesday, September 15, the Lady Gladiators and Avalon Lady Eagles will host a Pink National Breast Cancer Awareness Rally at the Avalon gym beginning at 6:00 pm. The teams will promote breast health education in the community as well as raising funds for research. Everyone is invited to attend and help with this worthy cause.

The rally is called DIG PINK. All attendees will watch the girls compete on the court while contributing to breast health awareness.

Wear something pink! Admission will be Adults $3, Students $2. The proceeds from all donations and gate admission will benefit a foundation call Side-Out, a national charity located in the Washington DC area.

The Side-Out Foundation has raised thousands of dollars for Breast Cancer research nationally through volleyball tournaments, clinics and rallies. Funds are currently devoted to targeted therapies and molecular profiling which is where there is a lot of research activity.

“In volleyball Side-Out occurs when one team wins a point while its opponent is serving, thereby regaining serve or control of play. Like wise in the war against Breast Cancer, the Side-Out Foundation will support health care professionals in their pursuit of practical solutions for women and men with this dreaded disease thus enabling those affected to regain control of their lives and living them to the fullest,” the Side-Out Foundation explained.

Coach Andi Windham urges everyone to attend and, of course, wear something pink to support the girls. Donations are accepted in addition to the ticket sales. If you have any questions, contact Coach Windham at [email protected] or 972-483-7411.
