Girls Volleyball: Woodgrove Program Turns 1,648 Miles Ran into $1,648 for Breast Cancer Research

(Aug. 2, 2012) - Woodgrove High School volleyball program players and families logged 1,648 miles of running to raise money for breast cancer awareness and research. To conclude the 30-day challenge, over 75 athelets, families, coaches, and administrators came together on July 31 to run a final mile at the Woodgrove stadium.


The dollar per mile challenge brought in $1,648 and has given the team a great start toward their goal of raising $2,500 this season for Dig Pink and the Side-out Foundation. October 18, 2012 will be Woodgrove Volleyball’s Dig Pink Event during their home contest versus Tuscarora.

The community is encouraged to come out for some great volleyball and to support both the Woodgrove and Tuscarora High School Volleyball teams as they work together to raise money for the Side-Out Foundation.

The runners were joined July 31 by Woodgrove’s new principal, Sam Shipp, who came out and ran the final mile, and accepted the donation on behalf of Woodgrove High School.
