WAHPETON, N.D. – (October 26, 2009) – The Friday evening match at Williston State College was not only a contest between two teams vying for the Mon-Dak Conference championship. It was also a chance for both teams to participate in “Dig Pink - Breast Cancer Awareness Night.”
“Dig Pink” focuses awareness on breast cancer, a disease that affects thousands of people each year. Both teams were honored to be a part of the event, which, according to the Side-Out Foundation, brings something significant and identifiable to the fight against breast cancer through the sport of volleyball.
“We are proud to participate in Dig Pink,” said NDSCS head coach Jane Passa. “It’s fun to do something unique and clever for a fantastic cause. If we can help bring more attention to the fight against breast cancer, we’re happy to do it.”
NDSCS wore pink socks and ribbons for the event, while Williston State College wore pink shirts for the match.
