FCCLA members, and Cheryl

Freeman, a local librarian
who had been plagued with
full body cancer.
We had lots of different
festivities that happened
that night to include: a bake
sale, a silent auction where
we auctioned off lots of
items, and had the American
Cancer Society Relay for Life
Specialist Tammi Brundidge
speak about the American
Cancer Society. She gave
handouts to all cancer
fighters and survivors that
were present at the game.
The whole night was planned
by Shelby McCartney and
myself, Bree Barnett. That
night we raised $1,400. This
meant that Nancy and Cheryl
each received about $700
for medical expenses, gas to
and from the hospital, and
any other ways the money
would help.
To make the gym look
Pinked Out we put up pink
streamers, pink bows on
the scorers table, pink table
cloths to look like curtains
in the doorways, posters
promoting pink out and
showing our school Pink Out
spirit, and posters for all the
game goers to sign and give
to Nancy and Cheryl to help
brighten their day. Shelby
and Bree decided to plan
the schools Pink Out and
compete at Regionals with it
as a STAR Event.
