Side Out Foundation

Dig Pink days at the 46th AAU Junior National Volleyball Championships will take place on June 18th, 22nd, and 26th. We encourage all teams to show their support by wearing something pink. All current uniform requirements must still be adhered to on these days. Share your pictures online with #AAUDigsPink.

AAU Volleyball Wants To Make An Impact!  AAU and The Side-Out Foundation are joining forces for the third straight year.  We believe our players, coaches and fans will celebrate great defense and help fund game-changing stage IV breast cancer research all at the same time!  We are also excited to announce that the 46th AAU Girls' Junior National Volleyball Championships will be the culminating event of Side-Out's 2019 Dig Pink® Dig-A-Thon!

HOW WE IMPACT AND SUPPORT

The Dig Pink® Dig-A-Thon is a season-long campaign uniting volleyball teams to accomplish 150,000 digs in honor of the 150,000 individuals living with stage IV breast cancer in the U.S. As part of the Dig-A-Thon, teams will compete for every dig while collecting pledges from family, friends, and fans. For each dig your team completes as part of your pledge drive, you are supporting Side-Out’s clinical research. AAU Volleyball encourages all participating teams to sign up online for the Dig Pink® Dig-A-Thon and start collecting pledges to help Side-Out reach its goal this season and show the power of the AAU volleyball community to make an impact.

The top fundraising team will be rewarded with a free entry to next year’s AAU Girls’ Junior National Volleyball Championships. The winning team will be announced by the end of June.

AAU Volleyball will also have Dig Pink days at the 46th AAU Girls’ Junior National Volleyball Championships on June 18th, June 22nd, and June 26th. All current uniform requirements must still be adhered to on these days. Don’t forget to share your pictures online with #AAUDigsPink.*
