Every October, thousands of college, high school and middle school volleyball teams across the country hold Dig Pink rallies and tournaments, and dedicate matches to raising awareness and funds to go towards research and living with breast cancer organizations. Side-Out Foundation's name underscores the purpose of the organization - "Side-Out" in volleyball occurs when one team wins a point while its opponent is serving, thereby regaining serve or control of play. Likewise in the war against breast cancer, the Side-Out Foundation supports health care professionals in their pursuit of practical solutions for women and men with breast cancer, thus enabling those affected to regain control of their lives.
