It’s “Pink Out” time in Tennessee!

14 high school football teams across the state are donning pink jerseys to fight breast cancer. Coffee County Central High School is proud to be one of the schools participating in this campaign.
The Red Raiders are hosting Pink Out Night on Friday, October 21st at Carden – Jarrell Field when they host Blackman High School. Pink Out Night is sponsored by Farm Bureau Insurance of Tennessee, and all proceeds go to the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
“Our guys really enjoy our annual pink out night,” said Coach Ryan Sulkowski. “When they put on those pink jerseys, the team gets pretty fired up. All of our players know someone who has been affected by breast cancer, and the team is excited to do its part in the fight against this disease.”
Local merchants have pledged donations toward the cause, and other fundraising activities. Special pink versions of the famous Farm Bureau Insurance “Charlie” hats will also be available for a $3 donation.
The local coordinating sponsor of Pink Out Night is Farm Bureau Insurance Agency Manager Mark McBride.
“We greatly enjoy partnering with the entire Coffee County Central family in raising awareness and money for the fight against breast cancer. From our partnership with the school’s FBLA students to the involvement of the band, cheerleaders, dance team and especially the football team the entire school really works together to accomplish more. This game really shows the breast cancer survivors in Coffee County that their friends and neighbors care about them. It’s a great cause, and it is always a memorable night.”
This is the fifth year that Farm Bureau Insurance of Tennessee has been the statewide partner of Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. “Strides,” as it is sometimes known, is the American Cancer Society’s signature campaign to raise awareness and funds to fight breast cancer. The program unites the entire community to honor breast cancer survivors, educate people about how to reduce their breast cancer risk or find the disease early and raise funds to end breast cancer. Farm Bureau Insurance has raised more than $1.3 million for the charity.
