Volleyball Dig Pink Weekend Set For October 4-5

MEDIA, Pennsylvania -- The Penn State Brandywine volleyball team will be holding its third-annual Dig Pink Weekend to raise money and awareness for breast cancer in conjunction with the Side-Out Foundation's national October breast cancer rally during the weekend of October 4-5.

The Side-Out Foundation awards grants to medical research organizations and entities dedicated to providing patient services to breast cancer patients and their families. Your participation gives the volleyball community the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of all breast cancer patients.

This year, the team has increased its fundraising goal to $3,000 with all proceeds from the two-day event benefitting the Side-Out Foundation. Brandywine will be selling t-shirts throughout the weekend for $13 and fans can make donations through Brandywine's Side-Out Foundation page by clicking here.

The Side-Out Foundation also asks everyone to "reveal your hero". Brandywine is running with that theme and is asking everyone to "pink your hero". Share your hero or heroes during the weekend of October 4 and 5 by using the hashtag #PinkHeroBWine14 on both Twitter and Instagram. Show your love, admiration and support for those affected by breast cancer!

PSU Brandywine volleyball asks for your support of the Lions and their cause during all four PSUAC matches, which begin at noon on Saturday (Penn State Lehigh Valley - noon; Penn State Hazelton - 2:00 pm) and continue during the same times Sunday (Penn State Wilkes Barre - noon; Penn State Worthington Scranton - 2:00 pm).
