OCTOBER: cancer awareness month

OMG! this month has been amazing. I have done so many things to help represent cancer and raise money for it. So in the beginning of the month my volleyball team played dig pink against Laney College. We were all dressed up in pink and showing our support. But also for that game every dig we got we got a certain amount of money. It was televised by their local tv network.

My volleyball team was so inspired from that game we started wearing all kind of pink. We have three different pink ribbons for our hair and pink socks. We wanted to make shirts but it was too late by the time we tried ordering then BUT we are going to do that next year for sure.

But the thing i was so surprised was the digs for pink at my old high school. One of my best friends leads the team that we do for relay for life so we were talking about how to raise money. We convinced the volleyball team to get pink shirts to play in, order extra shirts so that students and parents can wear them (which sold out) and there was also pink goodies that they sold at the snack bar. The whole school go involved and made the cancer symbol out of pink balloons and the cheer group wore the shirts that were made. It was a good event and i'm not sure how much they made but i know it all went to ACS.

So if this was this year for Oct. wait until next year when we can do everything we want by planning ahead of time =]
