Utah State University Volleyball Participates In 'Dig For A Cure' Campaign
In an effort to raise awareness and money for the world's most common cause of cancer death in women, Utah State University's volleyball team will once again participate in a ‘Dig For A Cure’ campaign during the month of October.
As part of the month-long campaign, Aggie fans wearing pink will receive free admission to any of USU's four remaining home matches during the month of October. USU hosts Fresno State Oct. 15, Idaho Oct. 19, Louisiana Tech Oct. 31 and New Mexico State Oct. 31.
During the month of October, fans can pick up flyers on the concourse level of the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum and pledge money for every dig the Aggies record or they can make a flat donation.
The month-long campaign will help to raise money for breast cancer awareness through the Susan G. Komen For The Cure Foundation, formerly known as the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Donations will be accepted throughout the month of October, which has been designated Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with the proceeds of the campaign going directly to the Komen Foundation.
The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 1982 by Nancy Brinker to honor the memory of her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died from breast cancer at the age of 36. Today, the foundation is an international organization with a network of more than 75,000 volunteers working through local affiliates and events like the Komen Race for the Cure® to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease. Together with its Affiliate Network, corporate partners and generous donors, the Komen Foundation has raised more than $740 million for the fight against breast cancer.
For more information, call the National Toll-Free Breast Care Helpline at 1.800 I'M AWARE® (1.800.462.9273) or visit www.komen.org. Anyone interested in pledging money or making a donation to Utah State's ‘Dig For A Cure’ effort can contact Taubi Neves at 435-797-2063.
