The Penn College women's volleyball team helped raise awareness of breast cancer in a weekend match that also honored its lone graduating senior. The team (with the help of Kristi L. Hammaker, health and fitness specialist; volleyball coach Bambi A. Hawkins and assistant coach Amber L. Dreese) led a Pink Out for Cancer Awareness in which fans and players dressed in pink including T-shirts tie-dyed at an earlier event. A total of $80 was collectedin a 50-50 fundraiser for donation to the American Cancer Society. During the afternoon's Senior Day festivities, Jennifer DeLosa was honored as a "one-of-a-kind wonderful person" whose "solid volleyball skills have made her a go-to person."
