October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and many girls' teams throughout the country are wearing pink pre-wrap to support this important cause. In Ohio, the volleyball players have Volley for a Cure where each high school in Ohio that plays interscholastic volleyball is challenged to dedicate one home volleyball match to promote breast cancer education, awareness and fundraising. The Soccer Association of Columbia is hosting a “Breast Cancer Awareness Month” for the entire month of October. They just ordered the Athletic Tape for their team’s shoelaces and the Pre-Wrap for their hair. They'll also use the pink pre-wrap as sleeve holders. Our U14 soccer team wore pink at this weekend's Columbus Day Tournament.
In Maryland, the Quince Orchard Soccer team will wear pink pre-wrap during the month of October to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Here are some ideas from last year!
In Farmingdale, NY - Farmingdale and Old Westbury's women's volleyball teams did a fundraiser and ll of the players wore pink socks during the match to promote breast cancer awareness and the coaches(including the male coaches!) sported pink t-shirts or wore pink pre-wrap. link
Pretty in Pink There’s nothing extraordinary about the Quince Orchard girls soccer team wearing pre-wrap. Most girls soccer players use it to keep those annoying straggling hairs out of their eyes. What is special, however, is that the Cougars are all sporting pink pre-wrap this month. And they’re wearing it to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month, helping facilitate knowledge of the disease among their peers.
‘‘We want to create awareness and get through to whoever is at our games,” said senior defender and captain Chelsea Prentice. ‘‘A lot of us wear pre-wrap anyway, but those who don’t are wearing it on their wrists or around their necks. We just want to show we support breast cancer research and that we’re sympathetic to those who are affected by it.”
