OUR PROGRAMS
Dig Pink® has been Side-Out’s program that volleyball teams have rallied behind for over 10 years to support stage IV breast cancer research. With the updated mission and websites in 2018, it was only right that we gave Dig Pink a brand facelift. Side-Out has seen Dig Pink expand past just October events and volleyball teams. Dig Pink has become a year-round program and to encompass this fact, we have termed the program to become the “Dig Pink Movement”. In addition to this, Dig Pink received an updated logo!

SIDE-OUT
DIG-A-THON
AMBASSADOR PROGRAM
The Side-Out Ambassador Program presents opportunities for students to receive recognition and scholarship funds, encouraging them to continue a life of setting and achieving their goals. Ambassadors raise funds for breast cancer research through Dig Pink® while learning important lessons about health, community and perseverance.
To be a Side-Out Ambassador, students must have organized a Dig Pink campaign, completed breast cancer education hours, and wrote a 500-750 word essay about the experience.
For the second year in a row, Side-Out received 20 Ambassador Program applications from students around the world. The 20 Ambassadors in 2018 matches the record number set in 2017 for most applicants in the program’s eight-year history.
Out of the 20 Ambassador, 11 were awarded scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $3,500. The Ambassadors with the top-three highest scoring essays were honored with the National Dig Pink Award at the AVCA Convention in Minneapolis, MN.
Side-Out and American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) honored three students with the 2018 Side-Out/AVCA National Dig Pink® Award at the AVCA All-America/Players of the Year Banquet.
Each year, Side-Out and AVCA team up to award the Side-Out Ambassadors with the highest scoring essays according to the review board with a special award at the AVCA Convention. These winners exemplify what the Side-Out Ambassador is all about, extraordinary commitment to the sport and their community.
