The Stillwater High School Volleyball program and Stillwater Medical Center partner this week to host the second annual Pink Out Week, to promote public awareness of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Activities for the week will kick off with the high school Pink Out games on Tuesday. Beginning at 4 p.m., the ninth grade team, junior varsity and varsity teams will play on their home court at the Stillwater High School Gymnasium against Norman North. The SHS teams will wear special pink jerseys, and there will be a variety of prizes and giveaways for those who attend. Stillwater Medical Center will also host educational booths at the game highlighting breast cancer awareness, women’s health issues and more.
“Stillwater Medical Center is proud to partner with SHS Volleyball on their Pink Out Event,” said Shyla Eggers, Director of Public Relations at Stillwater Medical. “It’s a great opportunity to promote awareness about breast cancer and also educate our community about the services we offer for early detection and treatment. We will have staff on hand to answer questions you have about 3D mammograms, home care services, cancer treatment options, surgery, women’s health and more. If you stop by our booths, you will have the chance to enter a drawing to win a Yeti cooler.”
Stillwater’s eighth grade volleyball program will also participate in Pink Out week, wearing special pink jerseys when they play Edmond Summit in a home game at Stillwater Junior High at 5 p.m. Thursday. Their Pink Out game will also include special prizes and giveaways, with the teams promoting awareness of this issue and honoring those affected by breast cancer.
Pink Out Week activities will conclude with a Mother-Daughter banquet and fashion show on Sunday evening with special guest speaker, Mayor Gina Noble, and other cancer survivors.
“I’m always happy to share my experience and hope to inspire other women to be diligent about breast cancer screenings. 3-D mammography spotted my cancer early and gave me options. Breast cancer is not a death sentence if you catch it early,” Noble said.
Stillwater Volleyball would like to invite the community to come out and support them for their Pink Out games as they bring attention to this important issue.
