Cooper’s Dig Pink® Efforts Seek to Spike Previous Records
The 5th Annual "Pink Week" will culminate with the Dig Pink Games on October 9. Join in the cause to fight breast cancer.
The John Cooper School volleyball team is once again pairing up with the Side-Out Foundation/Dig Pink® to help raise money to fight breast cancer. The 2014 volleyball team raised over $15,100 for breast cancer research, ranking them the #3 high school in the country for amount of funds raised and #1 in Texas for the third consecutive year. The 2015 team hopes the amount raised for this important cause will spike even higher.
The Fifth Annual “Pink Week,” includes a week of activities for all students during the week of October 5-9 in support of National Breast Cancer Awareness month. Students are encouraged to purchase Dig Pink t-shirts to wear during special “dress down days” and at the "Dig Pink®” games against Concordia Lutheran on Friday, October 9. There will be pre-game activities for all ages including face-painting, at 5 p.m. prior to the spirit-filled games that will begin at 6 p.m. in the Middle/Upper School Gym.
Last year, the efforts and generosity of many individuals and organizations allowed us to not only achieve our goal but surpass it by a huge margin, to support this tremendous cause,” said Cooper’s Athletic Director Mike Cooper. “The team is very excited to part of another Dig Pink campaign. Funds raised will go toward a clinical trial specifically for patients with stage 4 breast cancer, the most advanced form of the disease and the least funded area of research.”
The Side-Out Foundation is an organization that coordinates fundraising events for volleyball. For more information or to make a donation, please visit the team’s webpage at: https://www.side-out.org/cb/campaigns/campaign/10166
