From Our Ambassadors
“This experience has been wonderful and I feel so grateful to have been chosen to represent this incredible foundation and the work they are doing. I look forward to partaking in the ambassador program next year again and can’t wait to see what new things I get to share.”

“Dig Pink has given me the opportunity to turn my passion for the sport into reaching out with purpose to the community. The fans aren’t just showing up for our athletic talents; with Dig Pink they are showing up for our hearts. The vibes are different at our Dig Pink game.”

“Being a Side-Out Ambassador showed me how one voice, two teams, and a whole volleyball community can come together to help one person living with metastatic breast cancer and their family have more tomorrows together. By sharing with my community how a personalized precision-medicine plan is like a real-life game plan built for one person, I learned that impact is not just about what we give, but how we grow through giving, and it makes me want to keep advocating because when each of us does a little, together we really can help change each other’s tomorrows.”
Melissa Thacker

“The Side-Out ambassador program has been an amazing experience overall; it has connected me to so many girls and given me the chance to contribute to a cause larger than myself. I truly could not recommend participating in this cause enough.”
