Pink Out Game
This year the girls had a "Pink Out" game and raised money for Breast Cancer. We raised well over $500.
We had a little of a last minute problem. The night before the game we were told that we could not give the money to Susan B. Comen foundation b/c they give money to Planned Parenthood. The Catholic Church is obviously anit-abortion so this was a conflict and caused many of the local parishes to be upset.
One of our girls wrote an article for the school paper which was publishe on line and the poor thing got a negative comment from some jerk. It was all too stressful for me when our poor team was just trying to do something nice.
So we had to change our signs and some things, chose a new charity, update the website, etc. After a few stressful hours we pulled it all together. (I later found out that Susan B. Comen does not give Planned Parenthood money for breast cancer screening anymore. Oh well).
It was a good game. We played Canevin who is in first place. We lost a tough game 2-1.
