Volley for the Cure

Tonight we had Volley for the Cure to raise money to help fight Breast Cancer. We had alot of people show up and it seemed like every person there was wearing a volley for the cure t-shirt or a pink shirt! Every year the volleyball program goes out to businesses and asks them to donate something to our auction that we set up during our match. Last year we raised about 20,000 dollars. Everything that you buy at the game goes towards the cause. The t-shirts, the food at the concession stand, the ticket to get into the game, any of the items on the table for the silent auction all goes toward the fight against brest cancer. Last night was an amazing fundraiser and we also played well. We have held this event for the past four years. Every year it grows more and more and we get the awareness out about the cancer. A girl on the freshman team lost her mom to breast cancer about a year ago. The girl was given a blanket that all of us signed and cards. She made a poster and wrote a note to her mom talking about how much she missed and loved her and how she knows that she is in a better place. It was hard to see her go up there crying. Our goal this year was to raise 25,000 dollars. :)
