Lexington, NC - This year, thousands of volleyball athletes from around the country will be participating in The Side-Out Foundation’s Dig Pink ® program. Middle school, high school college, club, and adult teams will become advocates for those with metastatic breast cancer while raising funds to support breast cancer research that is giving more time to those living with MBC. West Davidson Volleyball Team will be hosting a Dig Pink ® match on October 4th to support the Side-Out Foundation. Dig Pink ® event t-shirts will be sold and other merchandise as well.
Before, during, and after the volleyball match, there will be many special events such as a silent auction, 50/50 raffle, face painting, food and more!
The proceeds from all donations will benefit the Side-Out Foundation, a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Fairfax, VA. Side-Out dedicates the majority of donations to their own metastatic breast cancer research. In addition to research, Side-Out allocates a portion of their funds to high-quality support services for cancer patients and their families, as well as college scholarships for students who participate in the Ambassador Program.

The Side-Out Foundation
The Side-Out Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was established in 2004 to make a significant and identifiable impact on the lives of metastatic breast cancer patients and their families. The organization takes an innovative approach to provide solutions for those specifically with metastatic breast cancer with the goal of becoming a source of hope for all those living with breast cancer in search of answers and treatment options.
Side-Out’s precision medicine research matches patients with treatments and uses the outcome data produced from this to draw conclusions, challenge the foundations of cancer care, and change the trajectory of the disease. The organization’s educational and community-driven programs Dig Pink® and Ambassador Program are built on creating advocacy for the metastatic breast cancer community, engaging a new generation, and funding Side-Out’s revolutionary research. As both a nonprofit and research organization, The Side-Out Foundation and its supporters work for a future where breast cancer isn’t a terminal diagnosis and anyone receiving a breast cancer diagnosis has hope for more tomorrows.
