The second annual “Pink Out” night proved to be a success Tuesday night at Fayette High School, as the Falcons battled Marceline in a Lewis & Clark Conference doubleheader.
While most of the gym already dons several colors of black and gold, the color pink was fairly predominant, as several spectators dressed in pink to help the school support cancer awareness.
According to “Pink Out” night organizers Amy Uthlaut and Billie Williams, the evening helped raise $1,500. Proceeds from the evening’s festivities, along with proceeds from T-shirt sales that were sold earlier this month, will be donated to Breast Cancer Awareness.
