The girls basketball’s annual “Pink Out” game has now raised more than $250,000 for breast cancer survivors.
The school recently announced that the 2024 Pink Out game against Lawrenceburg on Jan. 19 raised $24,166.58 that will be donated to the Indiana Women In Need (IWIN) Foundation to help breast cancer survivors and their families in Shelby County and surrounding areas.
In 16 years overall, the event has now raised $253,943.
“I want to start by saying a heartfelt ‘THANK YOU’ for all the help and support that the Triton Central school district and community provides for this wonderful event,” said Triton Central athletic director and girls basketball head coach Bryan Graham in an email announcing the donation amount. “We have people showing up at school first thing in the morning on game day to help make this activity happen. This event shows just how caring and giving our community really is and how we embrace tough situations and turn them into positive experiences.
“The LTB players, staff and family members are both very grateful and thankful to all of you for making this annual evening such an exciting experience both on, and even more importantly, off the court. The work we accomplish with this event truly does affect ladies we recognize (hundreds of survivors throughout the years) in ways that most of us will never understand.”
