In what has become an annual event, the Cerritos College volleyball team will be participating in the in the Side-Out Foundation and Dig Pink campaigns during the month of October to raise money for breast cancer research. The team supports this cause to promote awareness to young women and to remember the lives of dear friends and mothers that we have lost, as well as supporting the survivors that keep fighting this terrible disease. The money that is raise will be donated to the Side-Out Foundation, a national 501 (c)(3).

The Falcons have been part of the Side-Out Foundation and Dig Pink campaigns since 2009 and raise upwards of $600 annually. There are several ways to help the college raise money, including an opportunity drawing where half of the money raised goes to the foundation, as well as with the sale of t-shirts.

Dig for a Cure attendees will watch the women compete on the court while contributing the breast health awareness by wearing pink in the stands and making a donation at the door. Dig for the Cure t-shirts can be purchased for $10. Every home game in October will have 50/50 raffles in which 50% of the proceeds go to the Side-Out Foundation and the other 50% will be up for grabs at the games. Or, even if you cannot make it to the games, you can still make a credit card donation at the Cerritos College Page or on the Dig Pink Web site by going to www.DigPink.org, selecting the Colleges link under 2013 Team Summary and selecting Cerritos College.
