On Sept. 17, the Willowbrook and Addison Trail girls volleyball teams went head to head during District 88’s annual Dig Pink match.

The event is part of District 88’s annual Go Pink or Go Home initiative, which raises money for breast cancer awareness and research. This year’s game was hosted at Willowbrook, and the Warriors took home the win (25-12 and 25-9).

Breast cancer survivors in attendance were announced before the varsity game, and the Willowbrook and Addison Trail student-athletes presented each survivor with a pink carnation.

Raffle items and baked goods were available to buy, and the game raised $1,375 to benefit the American Cancer Society.
