Money raised will benefit Hope Lodge Nebraska
OMAHA, Neb. -- The No. 6 Creighton Volleyball team will host its 17th Annual Pink Out match on Sunday, October 20th and use the competition as an opportunity to benefit the American Cancer Society's Hope Lodge Nebraska.
Similar to how the Creighton Basketball programs have hosted a Pink Out jersey auction to raise more than $640,000 over the past 14 years, the Creighton Volleyball program will join in the fun in 2024. The Bluejay Volleyball team will wear white warm-up shirts with a pink lettering accent. The team is expected to wear its new white Nike jerseys that debuted earlier this season (with pink passing sleeves), but will be auctioning off its white and pink game-worn jerseys from last year's Pink Out match beginning at 6:30 p.m. on October 3rd and running until 6:30 p.m. Central on October 13th.
The winning bidders will have the opportunity to honor a friend or family member who has battled cancer or is currently battling cancer by purchasing the apparel via auction at http://gocreighton.com/pinkoutauction. The warm-up shirt to be worn can be personalized by the winning bidder.
Shortly after the match, the family members of the winning bidders will have the opportunity to meet the student-athletes of the jersey they bid on.
All funds raised go to benefit Hope Lodge Omaha. To make a donation, click here. The American Cancer Society Hope Lodge Nebraska provides a free home away from home for cancer patients and their caregivers who must travel to Omaha to receive their lifesaving treatment.
