The Hopkinton Hiller Volleyball teams will host a DIG PINK match at the Hopkinton High School Athletic Center on Friday, October 14th, to raise awareness of the importance of early detection in the fight against breast cancer.
The Hillers will be facing the Bellingham Blackhawks on this special night. The fun begins at 4:30pm with the Freshman match, followed by the JV match at 5:30pm.
The Varsity match will start at approximately 6:30pm in the Athletic Center.
Fans, players, coaches and all attending are encouraged to wear pink as a tribute to those who have battled or are battling breast cancer. Fans will be able to purchase pink paper volleyballs to decorate the gym and raffle tickets for spectacular prize baskets, with all proceeds going to the DIG PINK Side-Out Foundation.
Last year’s event was a great success and the Hillers hope to raise even more funds for the Side-Out Foundation this year. We believe that education is key to increasing knowledge about breast cancer and that fundraising is essential to supporting further research. The funds we raise for Side-Out 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.
Plan on attending and supporting the Hillers and Blackhawks as they DIG PINK for Breast Cancer Awareness.
