Orangeburg, N.Y. (10/18/12)  The Dominican College women's volleyball team will be hosting their 4th Annual "Dig Pink" Match on Tuesday, October 23 against Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Opponent, Concordia College.

All spectators are encouraged to wear pink to the match.

The women's volleyball team are fundraising money for the Side-Out Foundation by asking for pledges of either a flat donation or a pledge per dig donation.

There will also be a raffle and donation jar with all proceeds benefiting the Side-Out Foundation.

The Side-Out Foundation (Side-Out) was established in 2004 to unite volleyball players and coaches and to have them work toward the common goal of furthering breast cancer awareness, education and patient services. Side-Out supports teams nationwide in their volleyball tournaments, clinics and other fundraising efforts. The foundation offers practical support for fundraising in addition to educational material for participants in order to help them become effective advocates for breast cancer. We contribute the funds to organizations that serve breast cancer patients, whether it be in the form of research, medical services or compassionate support.

The term side-out refers to a situation in volleyball when one team wins a point while its opponent is serving, thereby regaining serve or control of play. It is hoped that this Side-Out will do the same for breast cancer patients, providing them with the support, education and best available treatments to regain control of their lives.
