The Chagrin Falls Middle and High School volleyball programs are gearing up for their annual Dig Pink! events, joining forces with the Side-Out Foundation to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. The community is invited to participate in this meaningful initiative, with high school matches against Hawken scheduled for Tuesday, September 24, and middle school matches versus Orange set for Thursday, October 9.
This year's events offer multiple ways for supporters to get involved:
Game Dedications: For a $100 donation, varsity players will dedicate their game to honor breast cancer survivors, remember those who have passed, or support current fighters. Only 13 dedications are available, so interested parties are encouraged to secure their spot promptly.
Countdown Calendars: Starting September 1st, fans can contribute to team-specific calendars by selecting a day and donating the corresponding amount. This creative fundraising method allows supporters to choose between Varsity, JV, Reserve, or Middle School teams.
Direct Donations: For those preferring a straightforward approach, direct donations can be made through the Side-Out Campaign's official website.
To incentivize participation, donors contributing $50 will receive a mini pink volleyball, while $25 donors will get a limited edition "Dig Pink" sweat towel, available on game nights while supplies last.
"This event is more than just volleyball," said Chagrin Falls Varsity Volleyball Head Coach Kelly Holtz. "It's about our community coming together to support a cause that affects so many. We're excited to see everyone rally behind this initiative and make a real difference."
The Chagrin Falls Volleyball program encourages early participation, as dedication spots and incentives are limited. For more information or to make a donation, community members can visit the official Side-Out Campaign website or contact the school's athletic department.
