Last fall, volleyball coach Beth Bushey organized a fundraiser with her high school volleyball team. Beth is the volleyball coach at Livonia Stevenson High School in Michigan where the team held different events during one week to hit their goal of raising $1000. In the end, they graciously donated $1,245 to Fighting Pretty!
From Beth:
Fighting Pretty lifted my sisters spirits during her treatment. I love that Kara is a survivor that began the organization to help others. We wanted to be a part of something that we know will make a difference to women battling cancer.
The girls were excited to be involved. Many had never heard of Fighting Pretty before I told them we would play to raise money for them. Many checked out the website and started following on social media. It helped bring awareness to another organization other than the big ones so many people support.
I would love to make a tradition out of this. Not only help Fighting Pretty, but other smaller organizations that need awareness for all the good they do to help those in need. Woman battling cancer hit homes for me, but I don't want to exclude others that need help. If we could support an organization each month of the season, I would love to do that!
We were able to raise $1245 through selling pink bracelets, Penny Wars, and a bake sale at the game.
Thanks for everything you do!!
