During the TASO-Volleyball Board of Directors meeting in February, your Board discussed what we can do as an organization to be more involved in the support of breast cancer awareness.    Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, TASO-Volleyball supports and encourages you to participate. During the month of October, TASO-Volleyball allows officials to use pink whistles during any match to benefit Breast Cancer Awareness.    Please be sensitive to the schools as they provide fundraisers in connection with their matches. If the school wants to play a token rally with a pink ball – why not?   If they want you to wear a pink t-shirt over your uniform shirt for one match and you feel comfortable with that – why not?   Some schools may wear tiny ribbon tattoos during the month of October. This would be fine since the tiny ribbon tattoos would be no different than a school mascot tattoo. As schools begin to have fundraisers, be cautious in receiving any items that could be perceived as inappropriate. It is good to attend fundraisers but we should do so at our own expense.
