For years now local volleyball squads have decided each October to dedicate themselves to helping battle breast cancer through "Dig Pink" matches. They have raised tens of thousands of dollars for local and national organizations. Last week The Rocky Grove Orioles hosted Lakeview for a game and were able to present the Franklin based Kirtland Cancer Foundation, who help locals with financial help during their time battling their cancer, with a $1,000 donation.
The Orioles obtained gift baskets and items from local businesses for a silent auction as well as holding a pink shirt sale. The following week the team was able to present Kathy Horner of the Kirtland Cancer Foundation with the check as Horner shared with them what the foundation does and how the money they raised will go to help their neighbors, perhaps even someone they know.
Earlier in the month Franklin, Oil City and Cranberry all participated in similar fundraisers for charity.
