On Thursday September 26 at 4pm, please attend the softball team's game versus Skyline High School and support this cause! The team will be wearing pink uniforms and supporting JWILL Pink Village, a local 501(c)3 nonprofit that brings comfort to breast cancer patients by creating and donating special, patented pillows that help ease pain after surgery.
You can show your support by:
- Wearing Pink
- Donating - the following are needed by this nonprofit and can be donated at the game:
- Materials: PolyFiber Stuffing, 100% Cotton or Flannel Fabric, 3/4” strips of sew-on Velcro in white or black, all-purpose thread, fabric scissors.
- Gift Cards: to Amazon, Joann Fabrics, Hobby Lobby, and Wal-Mart.
- Monetary Donations: Cash, PayPal, and Venmo.
All spectators are also encouraged to join our athletes in wearing pink, to both encourage survivors to keep fighting, and also honor loved ones who have lost their battle with breast cancer.
Thank you and Sko Yotes!
