Dear Prospective Donor,
This fall, thousands of volleyball teams around the country will participate in the Dig Pink® National Breast Cancer Awareness Rally. Middle school, high school and college teams will promote breast health education as well as raise funds to help eradicate this disease. Dig Pink attendees will support the cause by donating funds and wearing pink to the match. We hope this event involves a large number of individuals in the community. The proceeds from all donations will benefit The Side-Out Foundation, a national 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area (Tax ID # 20-2510044).
The foundation’s name underscores the purpose of the organization: a “side-out” in volleyball occurs when one team wins a point while its opponent is serving, thereby regaining serve or control of play. Likewise in the fight against breast cancer, The Side-Out Foundation will support health care professionals in their pursuit of practical solutions for women and men with this dreaded disease, thus enabling those affected to regain control of their lives.
We need your help to make this rally successful! The players, coaches, and school administrators sincerely thank you for your donation consideration and hope to see you at one of our Dig Pink events.
Sincerely,
[coach’s name] Rick Dunetz
