Donate to Bellevue's Dig Pink Campaign
BELLEVUE, Neb. -- The Bellevue University volleyball team will wear pink uniforms in its match against Evangel University tonight (Oct. 14) at the Gordon Lozier Athletic Center for the Side Out Foundation's "Dig Pink" campaign.
"Dig Pink" is an annual fundraiser to help promote breast health and cancer awareness and to raise money to contribute to the research and compassionate support projects Side-Out funds. This event gives the volleyball community the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of all breast cancer patients.
"The volleyball community has reached in a very special way for this foundation to grow and we want to be a part of it," said Bellevue University head volleyball coach Trish Siedlik. "Not only from an awareness standpoint, but because this disease hit home for our program. With the passing of Caitlyn's (Rueth) mother last spring, this has brought our team to another level beyond the court. We want to remember those affected, and to help in any way we can."
