About:
The team Bought Strikeout Cancer T-Shirts (this was part of a district-wide initiative though for the American Cancer Society and was not organized by us, but rather by the ACS and Athletic Department as a whole.
The only softball-specific portion of this district-wide ACS fundraiser was that we designate a game as our Strikeout Cancer Game, played in memory of a former player in the Class of 2003 who passed away in her 20s from Breast Cancer. We have our grounds crew paint a pink ribbon and her initials and number in the outfield where she used to play. Both teams wore special t-shirts, pink ribbons, etc. Before the game, we had a ceremonial first pitch with a pink softball from a cancer-survivor. This year, it was the mother of our catcher. (Pictures attached). She was given a commemorative ball and flowers.
