A message from the Coach:

Hello,

My name is Alexandra Swanson, and I am the Head Volleyball Coach at Central High School (Norwood Young America). I'm reaching out to ask for support in a special event — our annual Dig Pink Night, which will be held on Tuesday, October 15th during our home match against Glencoe.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this year, our Dig Pink efforts will go directly toward supporting a member of our NYA community: Jolene (Harms) Bergs. Jolene and her family have been incredible supporters of our town and school over the years, and now we are honored to stand beside them in this fight.

We are partnering with the Touchdown Club to raise funds for Jolene through pledges based on our Varsity team’s performance. We are inviting local businesses and community members to pledge a dollar amount per dig and ace recorded during Tuesday night’s match. (We average 3 Aces and 50 Digs per game.)

For example, if you pledge $2 per dig and ace, and our team records 20 digs and 2 aces, your total donation would be $44. It’s a fun and meaningful way to engage with the team and make a difference in someone’s life.

As a thank you, all participating businesses will be recognized and promoted during the event.

I've attached a PDF with more information about Jolene and her journey.

If you're interested in participating or have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
