 Thousands
of volleyball teams across the nation will
participate this fall in the Side-Out
Foundation's annual "Dig Pink" National Breast
Cancer Awareness Rally, including the
Bonners Ferry Badgers, participating now for the
third year.
The Badgers; C-team, JV and varsity, will host
the Timberlake Tigers Tuesday, October 2, in the
Bonners Ferry High School gym for this year's
Dig Pink event, with the JV and C-teams kicking
off the action at 5 p.m., with the varsity match
up to follow.
Admission is $5, and between and during games
there will be silent auctions, all proceeds
going to benefit the Side Out Foundation,
founded in 2004 to unite volleyball players and
coaches, from middle school through college, and
have them work together toward the common goal
of making significant and identifiable
differences in the lives a breast cancer
patients and their families.
In addition, Dig Pink t-shirts will be available
for sale to players and fans alike to show
support and solidarity. Forms are available at
the high school for those wishing to pre-order.
The term "side out" refers to a situation in
volleyball when one team wins a point while its
opponent is serving, thereby regaining serve and
control of the play.
That's the goal of the Side Out Foundation, to
do the same for breast cancer patients by
providing them with the support, education and
best available treatments to let them regain
control of their lives.
