Big South Is a Dig Pink™ Tour Stop!
The Dig Pink™ Tour Needs You and Your Team.
Take part in the challenge and help Volleyball Make the difference!
Big South is proud to announce its partnership with the Side-Out Foundation’s Dig PinkTM Tour. Join The DPTour and be part of an historic program to raise funds for the fight against breast cancer. 
Dig PinkTM is the fund raising arm of the Side-Out Foundation. They are partnering with four national volleyball tournaments to host The Dig PinkTM Tour, the largest program of its kind in sports, to challenge the spread of breast cancer. Big South is one of the lucky events chosen to be a part of the Tour. The Dig PinkTM Tour is a way for everyone in club volleyball to make our sport stand out as a truly significant force in this most important fight. Teams that participate in The Dig PinkTM Tour will be getting pledges for funds to support cancer awareness programs and help sponsor innovative research into ways to battle breast cancer. To find out how to register and get pledges, log on to www.digpinktour.org.
Each Dig PinkTM Team that raises $500 or more in pledges will receive a variety of pink accessories to wear for Dig PinkTM Day. During the entire tournament, but especially on Dig PinkTM Day, everyone - players, coaches, parents, staff - will be encouraged to wear as much pink as they can – to create a “Sea of Pink.” The Dig PinkTM Tour t shirt (like the design above) will be on sale at the tournaments and you can bring your own pink “stuff” to wear. Hundreds of teams, all wearing anything and everything pink!! Make sure your team is the pinkest of all!
Dig PinkTM Teams also earn Dig PinkTM Dollars, according to the amount of money they raise, to spend on merchandise and/or equipment for their club team. You can finally get those pink volleyballs you have always wanted. More details on this program in the near future.
All funds raised by The Dig PinkTM Tour teams go to the Side-Out Foundation. The Foundation was started by a volleyball coach as a way to inspire his Mom in her fight against breast cancer. Last year, through 700 high school and college Dig PinkTM Rally Against Breast Cancer matches, the Foundation raised over $350,000, all of which was donated to cancer research. The Dig PinkTM Tour is out to beat that mark!
Here’s your chance to compete with the other 4999 teams at the other Tour stops to be the Top Pink – the team that raises the most funds in the Tour. There will be special recognition for the Top Pink team. (If you go to more than one of the Tour events, you can combine your fund raising at each Tour event for the total amount. Or you can just out raise every other team in one fell swoop!)
If you and your team want to be a Dig PinkTM Tour Team, log on to www.digpinktour.org to sign up. (About 50 teams have signed up already!)
