On October 1, the Badger volleyball team took on
Timberlake in these year's Dig Pink match, a
tradition in Bonners Ferry to raise funds for
the Side Out Foundation and to raise awareness
of breast cancer.
They had some great games and accomplished their
goal, raising over $1,000 for Side Out. But they
did something different this year.
"It dawned on me that the event can help raise
cancer awareness right here at home, too," said
coach Janis Tucker, and today, the team's
seniors presented Virginia Sanborn of the
Boundary County Chapter something she wasn't
quite expecting.
"Why are you here?" she asked me as we sat in
the high school office.
"To take your picture!" I replied.
"Oh!" she exclaimed. "I thought we were being
called to the principal's office again"
The look on her face when handed the check was
priceless.
"When I asked her to come, I just told her the
team had a donation," Janis said. "I don't think
she expected this." |
