October is “Breast Cancer Awareness Month”, and several are high school volleyball teams are doing their part to bring it to the forefront. Tuesday, Radford High School held its annual event in cooperation with the SideOut Foundation. In volleyball, “side-out” means regaining control of the ball. Similarly, the Side-Out Foundation helps people with breast cancer regain control of their lives.
Volvo’s Dublin plant decorated a truck to echo the “breast cancer awareness” activities, and a made a stop at Tuesday’s volleyball game. Hundreds of high schools around the country hold such a events during volleyball season.
Each senior volleyball player read an excerpt and dedicated the game to fellow RHS student Eric Burdette, who was recently diagnosed with cancer. The seniors hug Burdette shortly before the start of the game.
