About:
Excitement filled the gym at Needham High School on October 10 as the Girls Volleyball team hosted their annual Dig Pink event — a spirited tradition dedicated to raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research. 💗
In partnership with Newton South High School, the Rockets have alternated hosting duties for nearly a decade, building a powerful tradition of teamwork and community impact. Leading up to the game, players and families organize bake sales, serving competitions, and donation drives, with additional fundraising taking place during the event itself.
Each year, the Dig Pink match raises between $3,000 and $5,000, supporting the Side-Out Foundation and contributing to a growing legacy of compassion and community involvement.
The student-athletes proudly wear custom pink shirts during warm-ups, and the gym transforms into a sea of pink — a vibrant show of unity, strength, and hope. Events like this remind us how athletes can use their platform to serve a greater purpose and bring people together for causes that touch so many lives.
