Supporters of the “2nd Annual Dig Pink Volleyball game between Tuscarora and Woodgrove High Schools showed tremendous support through their donations to the cause. The event held this year at Tuscarora High School was a huge success, contributing $4,623 to the cause. $1,069 was raised at the gate. The remainder of the funds were raised as donations in cash, raffles, flower and T-shirt purchases. All proceeds were donated. The Huskies won the match in a 5 game barn burner, but the true winner of the evening was cancer research. Thank you to all who came out to support the cause!
