Dig Pink...
For the past four seasons, Missouri State volleyball has teamed up with Breast Cancer Foundation of the Ozarks and The Side-Out Foundation in the Dig Pink breast cancer awareness event. Missouri State will be among an estimated 1,000 college teams in 2013 partnering for a goal of raising $2,500,000 for breast cancer awareness, research and treatment. The Dig Pink match at Missouri State will take place October 5 when the Bears host Southern Illinois. Pictured below is the t-shirt design by former Bear Calli Norman that the team wore prior to its Dig Pink match in 2008.
