The Alexander volleyball teams are sponsoring an ovarian cancer awareness game Thursday night Oct. 4 at home during their games against York.
(We know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this even started out as a breast cancer awareness game, but we switched gears at the beginning of September after our Varsity Coach Marcia Hirsch lost her sister-in-law Bonnie Hirsch to ovarian cancer at the end of August).
We will be having a serving contest in between the J.V. and Varsity games to win prizes from area businesses. You pay $1 to serve a ball into a pizza box and if you hit it, you win the prize that's in it.
There will be concessions with a bake sale and some T-shirts will be available for purchase -- all proceeds being donated to Roswell Park Cancer Institute in honor of Bonnie Hirsch.
The JV game starts at 5 p.m., the serving contest is at 6, followed by the varsity game and the evening should wrap up no later than 8:30 p.m., according to organizers.
The school is located at 3314 Buffalo St. in Alexander.
