Pink jerseys and t-shirts are becoming as much of a tradition at Columbia City High School as trophies and scholarships.
Last fall, the Lady Eagles soccer and volleyball teams raised $5,000 for the community’s free mammogram program. And now, it appears that “Pink Fever” has spread to the school’s basketball programs!
Members of the girls and boys basketball teams recently approached the Community Foundation and expressed their shared desire to hold “pink jersey” games to raise money for a new endowment that will provide support for non-profit organizations in our area that provide valuable assistance to people battling all types of cancer. To mirror the student’s enthusiasm and support, the Whitley County Community Foundation has agreed to match contributions raised by the students dollar for dollar.
The Columbia City High School Lady Eagles basketball team held their Shots Against Cancer games on Friday evening. The Columbia City High School Eagles JV and Varsity teams will wear pink for their game against New Haven next Friday, January 29. The community is encouraged to attend and wear pink in support of the team – and the cause.
