RALEIGH, N.C. NC State will host rival North Carolina in an ACC volleyball clash tomorrow night, Tuesday, Oct. 14, at historic Reynolds Coliseum. Play begins at 7 p.m. Aside from taking on the Tar Heels, the Pack will also be joining in the fight against breast cancer by declaring the night as a “Dig Pink” event.
All fans of Wolfpack volleyball are encouraged to wear pink and help stress the importance of the fight against breast cancer. Donations will be collected at the door during the event. For a donation of just $5 you can receive a pink NC State shirt with proceeds going directly to the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund. Another $5 donation will enter your name in a raffle for tickets to the NC State vs. North Carolina men’s basketball game on Jan. 31 at the RBC Center. The winner of the tickets will be announced later that night during the third set of play.
Proceeds will benefit the Side-Out Foundation. Donations can also be made online via this link.
