EASTON, Mass. (October 23, 2015) – The Stonehill College volleyball team will take part in the "Dig Pink" breast cancer awareness fundraiser tonight, when the Skyhawks host Pace University for a Northeast-10 Conference match at Merkert Gymnasium at 7:00 p.m.

Contributions will benefit the Side-Out Foundation, established in 2004 to promote breast cancer awareness, education, and fundraising through volleyball.

The Stonehill volleyball program will have a manager collecting donations before the match, and again during the break between sets two and three. Donations can also be made online: https://www.side-out.org/cb/campaigns/campaign/11134. The Skyhawks' goal is to raise $500 dollars to help the fight against breast cancer.

Fans are encouraged to wear pink to the match in support of breast cancer awareness and the Dig Pink fundraiser.

About the Dig Pink fundraiser

Dig Pink^® Rally is The Side-Out Foundation's trademark name for its fundraising events. A Dig Pink event can be organized at the local, county, city or state level. Although Side-Out's Dig Pink events began as volleyball specific events, participants do not have to be volleyball players/coaches or even athletes at all! The events are supported by middle/high school and college students nationwide. All proceeds benefit Side-Out, which in turn awards grants to medical research organizations and entities dedicated to providing compassionate support to breast cancer patients and their families. Your participation gives youths the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of all breast cancer patients.
