Sabers Volleyball 'Diggin' Pink' for Cancer Awareness
The event includes a silent auction with proceeds going to the St. Francis Cancer Center. It will take place today, starting at 5:30 p.m.
When the Shakopee High School volleyball team warms up for their home game this afternoon they will do so in black and pink t-shirts for the fourth annual Diggin' Pink Night—a cancer awareness event.
The Shakopee Volleyball Booster Club is hosting a silent auction from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the high school. The 'Diggin Pink' t-shirt sale has ended.
"Interest in t-shirts has built over the years," said Sarah Koehn from the Shakopee Volleyball Booster Club. "This year’s sales was significantly more than previous which is very exciting."
