"Dig Pink" Volleyball Match

Michigan Lutheran vs. Lake Michigan Catholic

Bringing two high school rivals together for one great cause!!

Tuesday, September 24, 2013

At Michigan Lutheran High School

JV starts at 5:30 Varsity to follow at 7:00

Come and support your local volleyball teams as they play their Red Arrow Conference match while also raising money for the Dig Pink Side-Out Foundation!

"Dig Pink" is a volleyball event supported by over 1,000 college and high school teams who are committed to supporting the goals of the Side-Out Foundation. The name "Side-Out" underscores the purpose of the organization. A "Side-Out" in volleyball occurs when one team wins a point while its opponent is serving, thereby regaining serve or control of play. Likewise in the war against breast cancer, the Side-Out Foundation supports health care professionals in their pursuit of practical solutions for women and men with this disease thus enabling those affected to regain control of their lives and living them to the fullest.

The games will begin at 5:30 with the Junior Varsity teams. The Varsity match will follow at 7:00. We will have "Dig Pink" t-shirts for sale along with some "pink" goodies.

DON'T FORGET TO WEAR PINK!!!!!

T-shirts are available for a pre-sale cost of $10.00. Orders and payments must be received before September . Please contact an ML or LMC volleyball player for an order form.

There will be some t-shirts available for sale the night of the game.

The price will be $12 each and size availability may be limited.
