Colorado Crossroads is proud to announce its partnership with the Side-Out Foundation's Dig Pink Tour™. Join The DPTour™ and be part of an historic program to raise funds for the fight against breast cancer.
Dig Pink™, the fund raising arm of the Side-Out Foundation, is partnering with four national volleyball tournaments to host The Dig Pink Tour™, the largest program of its kind in sports to challenge the spread of breast cancer. Colorado Crossroads is one of the lucky events chosen to be a part of the Tour. The DPTour™ is a way for everyone in club volleyball to make our sport stand out as a truly significant force in this most important fight. Teams that participate in The DPTour™ will be raising funds to support cancer awareness programs and help sponsor innovative research into ways to battle breast cancer. To find out how to register and get pledges, log on to www.digpinktour.org.
Each Dig Pink™ Team that raises $500 or more in pledges will receive a variety of pink accessories to wear for Dig Pink™ Day...the second day of competition. During the entire tournament, but especially on Dig Pink™ Day, everyone - players, coaches, parents, staff - will be encouraged to wear as much pink as they can - to create a "Sea of Pink." The Dig Pink™ Tour t shirt (like the design above) will be on sale at the tournament and you can bring your own pink “stuff” to wear. Hundreds of teams all wearing anything and everything pink!! Make sure your team is the pinkest of all!
Dig Pink™ Teams also earn Dig Pink™ Dollars, according to the amount of money they raise, to spend on merchandise and/or equipment for their club team. You can finally get those pink volleyballs you have always wanted. More details on this program in the near future.
All funds raised by The DPTour™ go to the Side-Out Foundation. The Foundation was started by a volleyball coach as a way to inspire his mother in her fight against breast cancer. Last year, through 700 high school and college Dig Pink™ Rally Against Breast Cancer matches, the Foundation raised over $350,000, all of which was donated to cancer research. The DPTour™ is out to beat that mark!
Here's your chance to compete with the other 4,999 teams at the other Tour stops to be the Top Pink - the team that raises the most funds in the Tour. There will be special recognition for the Top Pink team. (If you go to more than one of the Tour events, you can combine your fund raising at each Tour event for the total amount. Or you can just out raise every other team in one fell swoop!)
If you and your team want to be a Dig Pink Tour™ Team, log on to www.digpinktour.org to sign up. (About 50 teams have signed up already!)
