Friday, October 3rd, is Dig Pink /  Kick Cancer Night at Macalester College as the volleyball and women's soccer teams host matches to benefit the Side-Out Foundation and Susan G. Komen Foundation. This nation-wide event, which involves hundreds of participating college and high school teams, promotes breast cancer education by encouraging fans to wear pink t-shirts, by distributing educational material, collecting donations, and focusing on how individuals can help. Dig Pink is a project committed to support the goals and ideals of the Side-Out Foundation and is sponsored by Macalester's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. PLEASE WEAR PINK ON FRIDAY!

The Mac volleyball team plays host to Bethel at 7 p.m. and the women's soccer team hosts St. Benedict at 7:30 p.m. Admission to these events, as with all Macalester home events, is free of charge.  Proceeds will go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Macalester's volleyball team will wear pink pink jerseys donated by The Volleyball Warehouse and the Macalester soccer team will play in pink uniforms, donated by Soccer Express and Diadora.

Side-Out Foundation
The name underscores the purpose of the organization – “Side-Out” in volleyball occurs when one team wins a point while its opponent is serving, thereby regaining serve or control of play. Likewise in the war against breast cancer, the Side-Out Foundation will support health care professionals in their pursuit of practical solutions for women and men with this dreaded disease thus enabling those affected to regain control of their lives and living them to the fullest.
