BALTIMORE, Md. – The 3rd annual Baltimore City Community College Charm City Volleyball Tournament is set for Saturday, September 7, 2013 at the BCCC P.E. Center. Team check-in is at 9 a.m. and matches start at 10 a.m.
The BCCC volleyball program has partnered with the Side-Out Foundation, a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Washington, D.C., for this year's tournament, making it an official Dig Pink® event. The Dig Pink® Campaign is designed to help support and spread awareness about breast cancer and gives event spectators the opportunity to become involved by making donations to the cause and by pinking out the events (i.e. wearing pink to show their support).
The Lady Panthers have set a campaign goal of raising $1,000 and are accepting online donations here. Donations can also be made the day of the tournament. The proceeds from all donations will benefit the Side-Out Foundation.
The tournament will feature six teams in a two-pool, round-robin format. The participants include: Anne Arundel CC, CCBC-Catonsville, CCBC-Essex, Frederick Community College, Howard CC, and host BCCC.
General admission is $4 for the entire day, but fans wearing pink will be admitted at the discounted price of $3.
