The Eagles and Vikings support the goals of the Side-Out Foundation through this Dig Pink event. The non-profit Side-Out
Foundation was established in 2004 to raise money and awareness about cancer
through the recreational activity of volleyball. It contributes the funds to
organizations that serve breast cancer patients, research, medical services or compassionate
support. The term side-out refers
to a situation in volleyball when one team wins a point while its opponent is
serving, thereby regaining serve or control of play. Side-Out hopes to do the
same for breast cancer patients, providing them with the support, education and
best available treatments to regain control of their lives.
If you’d like more information on the
Dig Pink event, please contact Elizabeth McDermott at ecmcdermott@comcast.net.
