About:
On October 7th, 2024, the Hilton Girls Volleyball teams—JV and Varsity—came together to support a cause close to their hearts: raising funds for the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester. Through a variety of efforts, including basket raffles, cookie and baked goods sales, and selling “Dig Pink” t-shirts, the team raised approximately $450. Many of the basket items were generously donated by community members, highlighting the strong local support for this important cause.
Both teams wore pink uniforms for their matches in honor of breast cancer awareness. A special moment between matches was the recognition of who each player was playing for, whether in support or in remembrance. Players were announced and escorted to center court, making the event not just about the game, but about honoring loved ones affected by breast cancer.
Hilton Girls Volleyball is proud to contribute to the fight against breast cancer, demonstrating that the impact of sports goes far beyond the court. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event a success!
