Dig Pink Volleyball Game
This is the service event that I take the most pride in. Dig Pink is a well known event that takes place during a volleyball game to raise money for breast cancer. I organized the event and had my team help host it on October 14, 2014 at our home volleyball match. My volleyball team made cookies and brownies to be sold in a bake sale before the game. Spirit items such as pom poms and stickers were also sold. I also invited local breast cancer survivors to attend the game. They were all recognized before the game with a special ceremony. All of the proceeds made at the game went to a foundation called Side Out. Side Out donates all the proceeds from the event towards breast cancer research and directly to families of breast cancer patients in need. This was a very rewarding experience. I was so happy to see the breast cancer survivors being honored. At the end of the night, we calculated that we made just over $250. It was fulfilling to know that the money made was donated to a good cause.
