About:
Last week, our varsity soccer team hosted their annual pink game – a game they organize each year when they sell and wear pink uniforms to support breast cancer, specially the Ellie Fund.They also organize a bake sale before and during the game and sell goods (baked goods, t shirts, waters etc). All the money raised is donated to the Ellie Fund, an organization that provides essential support for breast cancer patients to ease the stresses of their everyday life so they can focus on family, friends, healing, and recovery.
The team does this game every year and it can become a tradition. Our volleyball team does a breast cancer game as well, they actually did it this past friday. They decorate the gym, wear pink uniforms, and run a bake sale before and during their game with all profits donated to thr Ellie Fund. It is fully student run and organized.
