A DIG PINK® EXPERIENCE FOR CLUB
Take The Perfect Pass Challenge
Club volleyball teams fund vital research while building a network of community advocates. This creates trusted pathways to connect metastatic breast cancer (mBC) patients with life-extending treatments.
Bring More Meaning to Your Club Season
The Perfect Pass Challenge creates meaningful impact for players, patients, and communities by raising funds for mBC research while connecting patients with life-extending treatment opportunities. Building on our successful first year, we're expanding this proven initiative for club volleyball teams nationwide. Through ribbon exchanges at tournaments, your team challenges opponents to join the movement while using social media to spread the word—helping mBC patients discover Side-Out's research program and breakthrough treatments they might never find on their own.
Join clubs nationwide to distribute 25,000 ribbons, raise $250,000, and harness the passion of volleyball to create pathways to hope for those battling metastatic breast cancer!

Why They Love
“The OVR is excited to partner with the Side-Out Foundation to help raise funds and awareness about breast cancer through club initiatives in the OVR. Unfortunately, much of our membership will, at some point, be touched by breast cancer in their lifetime, and it is my hope that through our collaborative efforts, future generations of young girls, coaches, club directors, moms, and grandmothers may only know that breast cancer was a battle that has been won for good. Until then, I encourage all of us in the volleyball community to do our part and help the Side-Out Foundation in their efforts to find a cure.”
Brian Hofman
Director of the Ohio Valley Region
“For us, the event goes deeper than raising funds for metastatic breast cancer research. It represents the Fight of ALL OF our friends and family members against cancer. We battle on the courts to honor their courage, and their struggle to embark on a journey for survival every single day to win against the disease. Raising funds for the Side-Out Foundation unites us all in this fight.”
Jadwiga Graham
Program Director of Thunderbolt Volleyball Club
“A great game; a great cause; bringing together great communities. This group is making a real difference in bringing precision medicine to the phase of the disease where it is needed most. We will one day call the last point in the final set as we side-out breast cancer once and for all”
