The color pink has represented breast cancer awareness since the 1990s. Today, the pink ribbon is recognized widely and worn proudly by breast cancer survivors and their families in order to raise awareness about the disease and the millions of people it has impacted, whether directly or through loved ones.
Across Elmore County, volleyball teams are honoring the cause by hosting Pink Out games this October. These games may seem like a meager or meaningless attempt at raising awareness, but that’s not the case. They are moments in which a community can come together to recognize and potentially donate time or money to the cause of breast cancer awareness.
