We wear pink for Patty Paris
The girls basketball and cross country programs will be partnering to honor Patty Paris with "Wear Pink for Patty" events on 10/16 and 10/17. Patty is currently fighting stage 4 breast cancer and is the Mom of Raven (7th grade basketball and middle school cross country), Valentino and Adrian (9th and 12th grades and both on varsity cross country team).
Teams will wear pink socks and t-shirts at home competitions on 10/16 (basketball) and 10/17 (cross country). Volunteers will staff booths with information about breast cancer awareness and research, hand out pink ribbons and take donations (proceeds will go toward a special gift for the Paris family from their Byron family). All attendees will be encouraged to "Wear Pink for Patty". Patty will be honored between the 7th and 8th grade games and at the start of the varsity cross country race.
Our Cross Country "family" would like to put together a bake sale table at the meet on the 17th. We would love it if you would be willing to donate items for sale. If you would be kind enough to pre-package them it would be much appreciated. More details to follow.
