About:
Throughout October, the Miscoe Hill Middle School Girls’ volleyball team, under the leadership of Coach Bill McInnis, led a community-wide “Dig Pink” initiative, raising $4,700 in support of breast cancer treatment and research at Milford Regional Hospital. The team engaged in a variety of fundraising activities, including:
- Concessions Sales: The athletes sold home-made snacks and refreshments during games, providing a tasty way for fans to support the cause.
- Awareness Bracelets: The team offered breast cancer awareness bracelets, allowing supporters to show their commitment to the fight against breast cancer.
- Buck-a-Bump Marathon: In a creative twist, the team held a “Buck-a-Bump” event where supporters pledged $1.00 for every successful bump players executed while keeping the ball in the air.
To celebrate the success of the program, the team challenged Miscoe Hill teachers and staff to a volleyball game on October 25, with the entire student body and guests Liz Fleming and Julie Whitney from the Milford Regional Healthcare Foundation in attendance. After winning (25-23) the team presented the donation to the Foundation.
Thanks to the hard work and contributions from our players, parents, and the community in the fight against breast cancer!
