Dig Pink!

What is Dig Pink®?


Dig Pink® 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, and it is supported by college and middle/high school volleyball coaches and teams. 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 the volleyball community the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of all breast cancer patients. Thank you for getting involved!

“You must get involved to have an impact. No one is impressed with the won-lost record of the referee.” – Napoleon Hill

How Can My School Show Support?
