The John Cooper School is gearing up for Dig Pink Week

THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- The John Cooper School volleyball teams are sponsoring the Cooper community’s sixth annual Pink Week, Oct. 17-21 in support of National Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Events are planned all week, culminating with the JV and Varsity volleyball games being played in the Dunlap Gymnasium on October 21 and the varsity football game on Pugh Field on October 21. The Dragon Booster Club is sponsoring fun pre-game activities that promise to put everyone “in the pink!”

The Dragon volleyball teams are once again pairing with the Side-Out Foundation/Dig Pink® to raise money for research for Stage 4 (metastatic) breast cancer, as well as for The Rose, a Houston organization that provides screening, diagnostics and treatment services, regardless of ability to pay.

Since its inception, Cooper’s Dig Pink events have raised more than $78,000 toward this important effort. You can help support this year’s efforts by making an online donation or ordering a 2016 Dig Pink t-shirt.
