October 2nd will mark the second annual "Dig Pink"
volleyball game. "Dig Pink" is dedicated to those who suffer from breast cancer. Its purpose is to raise money and awareness.
At Messmer, this game is also
played to remember Mama Sowinksi. Mama Sowinski, for those who don’t know, is Volleyball Coach and Math Teacher Ms. Vanessa Sowinski's mother. Breast Cancer took the life of Mama Sowinski last year. After that, Ms. Sowinski brought the Dig Pink foundation to Messmer. Dig Pink t-shirts
were sold at lunches to students and staff to help raise more money for the game. Last year, this game raised approximately $250. All the
earnings go to a local breast cancer foundation. During the game, there are various activities for students
to do outside the gym such as face painting and a raffle.
This year, the Messmer Dig Pink game will be held
Thursday, October 2nd at 6:00PM. We will be going against Heritage
Christian High school. Admission will be $1.50 for students with their Messmer
I.D, and $2.00 for anyone else. We are trying to double our
earnings, so Let's Pack the House for Breast Cancer!
