🎗️ Pink Month: Breast Cancer Awareness in Volleyball 🎗️
It's October, and that means Pink Month in volleyball, in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 🏐 Teams will host special events and raise funds for this important cause.
🤝 MSS fully supports our volleyball officials in wearing pink shirts, watches, wristbands, whistles, and other pink gear during October to show solidarity.
⏳ Please be patient if schools need extra time between JV and Varsity matches to host activities in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. Some schools have large events, including survivor speeches. It's a heartwarming time to be a high school volleyball official, and it's for a great cause! 💕
🎀 Important Reminders 🎀
- ✅ Always wear matching uniforms! Uniform coordination is key.
- 🔥 It's the middle of the girl's volleyball season, and matches are heating up!
