We are so grateful for the Grace M. Davis High School Volleyball team in Modesto for choosing to turn Breast Cancer Awareness Month into something that makes a real, tangible difference.

After realizing that wearing pink and spreading awareness wasn’t enough on its own, they decided to turn their Pink Out into action by donating 100% of their concession stand proceeds to HERS Breast Cancer Foundation!
