What an incredible night at Pink Out! 💗 A huge shoutout to our cheerleaders and cheer block for their energy and leadership in rallying the crowd, and to our football players for proudly wearing pink socks and donating $500 to the Cancer Care Fund. 🙌 Carson Chizum shared, “Wearing the socks and seeing all the pink means a lot to me, not only because it supports our student-led Cancer Care Fund, but it also gives awareness to anyone affected by breast cancer. My grandma was diagnosed in May, and I’m proud to support pink for the night.” Reese Finley added, "As a team, Pink Out is one of our favorite games of the year! With two of my loved ones now survivors, it's amazing to be a part of a group of students who give back in such a big way!" A special thank you to our incredible community members for showing up, spreading awareness, and supporting the fight against breast cancer! 📷 Photo credit: Jasmine McKinley for the photos and Kyle Carter for the drone shots. #WarsawInspires #PinkOutNight
