[chambernews] Message from People's National Bank and the "Dig Pink" Event on October 4th

[Karen Amundson (Chamber)]

Notice to area Chamber Members:

*Peoples National Bank along with Kanabec Hospital are again sponsoring 
the" Dig Pink" event for the Mora High School Volleyball team on October 
4th for breast cancer awareness and research. This is the second year 
the Mora Mustang Volleyball team has been involved with this worthwhile 
event. A little bit about the Side-Out Foundation that organizes this 
event:*

    * Side-Out is committed to the unification of the sport of
      volleyball and its alliance with the breast cancer awareness and
      education movement.

    * Side-Out's initiatives involve middle/high school, college, club
      and professional volleyball players and coaches.

    * Side-Out has a customized suite of Internet-based software that
      makes team/event fundraising easy.  The Side-Out software can
      monitor and evaluate each fundraising effort, and also helps in
      the distribution of funds.

    * Side-Out is not just a charity.  We participate nationally in the
      breast cancer community.  Below are examples of what we are
      currently doing:

· Clinical trials with a focus on translational research.

· Supporting community breast cancer organizations, bringing together 
these centers to share ideas with respect to support, treatments and 
therapies.

· Holding camps and clinics for volleyball players that not only teach 
volleyball, but also life skills that aid players during times of 
adversity.  We also strive to educate them about the importance of 
"being a coach" to those in need.

· Assisting the nation's players and coaches in distributing educational 
materials to their local communities.

· We have a cancer support specialist within arm's reach through our 
relationship with Life with Cancer.

    * Side-Out has a blue-ribbon Board of Directors and Advisors to
      include NCAA coaches, marketing professionals, Hall of Fame player
      Sinjin Smith and former beach pro, Holly McPeak.

    * Side-Out is sponsored by USA Volleyball, and is strongly supported
      by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA).

    * Side-Out has a strong relationship with the National Cancer
      Institute and has an internationally recognized scientific
      advisory team.

*Come out and support the girls for this great cause! If you can't be at 
the volleyball event, we are asking everyone to at least wear pink in 
support of Breast Cancer awareness/research on October 4th.*
