Joining forces with many other volleyball programs throughout the nation, the Lady Viking Volleyball team is hosting ourfourth annual pink night match. The pink night match is designed to both help raise funds for, and raise awareness of, breast and other cancers. The team members have been working throughout the summer and fall to earn money for tonight through t-shirt sales and raffle ticket sales. Half of the proceeds from tonight will go to CHS Volleyball the other half will be split between the following two charities. We would like to thank Lamb’s market and the Pizza Shop for providing the gift certificates for the raffle and Judy Whitworth for donating the water bottles. Also thank you to Lani Rembelski for the Pampered Chef prize packet and Connie Lancaster for making the beautiful bags.Thanks so much for your generous donations. Thanks also to everyone who helped make tonight a success!!
