"Pink Fever" Broad Run vs Tuscarora football game to benefit breast cancer

Ashburn, VA - October is nationally known as Breast Cancer Awareness month. Broad Run High School DECA students are holding their annual Breast Cancer Awareness campaign to create understanding among students and the community.  The grand finale of the weeklong campaign will be held on Friday, October 11, 2013, on the home field of the Broad Run Spartans against the Tuscarora High School Huskies. The community is invited to come out for a great game and help support a great cause.

 “Pink Fever” is inspired by Broad Run DECA’s previous successful Breast Cancer Awareness events known as “Pink’d” and “Got Pink?” Supporters will wear the new “Pink Fever” neon pink t-shirts to spread the fever across the community and country. “Pink Fever” shirts will be sold at the game, as well as at Broad Run High School and Farmwell Station Middle School throughout the week. Raffle tickets, baked goods, cotton candy, and much more will be available for sale with all proceeds and donations going to the Loudoun Breast Health Network. Last year the campaign raised over $8,000 and gained national attention through an appearance on NBC’s TODAY Show, a visit by Redskins Quarterback RGIII, and more. This year the students need the community’s support to exceed that number as well as the campaign’s reach.

 The “Pink Fever” campaign, sponsored by Broad Run DECA, also includes activities throughout the school week to raise breast cancer awareness. The students will spread the “Pink Fever” across the school to students and teachers, distribute informative materials, “Pink Fever” T-shirts, and more.
