This fall 2009, thousands of teams from around the country will be participating in the Dig Pink National Breast Cancer Awareness Rally.  High School and College teams will be promoting Breast health education in the community as well as raising funds to help eradicate Breast Cancer.

Dig Pink attendees will watch the girls compete on the court while contributing to breast health awareness by making a statement and wearing something PINK in the stands. Admission will be $5 and will be donated for Breast Cancer Research.  Coach Melissa Frasier of James Island Charter High School, Coach Alexis Glover of Wando High School and Coach Christy Jickling of West Ashley High School are all encouraging their athletes to get involved in the community and support various organizations relevant to the students.  The coaches of all three varsity volleyball teams thought it was extremely significant to their female volleyball players to support and become more educated about Breast Cancer research.

The proceeds from all donations will benefit the Side-Out Foundation, a national 501(c)(3) located in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area.
