Students are at the heart of all Dig Pink® events. Their passion and enthusiasm unites teams, schools and towns, and the results of their efforts provide continued support for a research trial benefitting patients with stage 4 (metastatic) breast cancer. The Side-Out Foundation is proud to recognize outstanding students for their community service and commitment to the cause. The Side-Out Ambassador Program (SOAP) congratulates the promising young women below, our 2014 ambassadors!

About The Side-Out Foundation
The Side-Out Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was established in 2004. Inspired by one mom and embraced by the entire sport of volleyball, the mission of The Side-Out Foundation is to educate young athletes and their communities about breast cancer, both with respect to prevention and treatment, and to fund cutting edge breast cancer research. Side-Out is focused on changing the way breast cancer is treated forever.
The term side-out refers to a situation in volleyball when one team wins a point while its opponent is serving, thereby regaining serve or control of play. It is hoped that Side-Out will do the same for breast cancer patients, providing them with the support, education and best available treatments to regain control of their lives.
