Pink Out Night Friday for St. Anthony vs. Teutopolis

HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital is partnering with St. Anthony High School's Student Council for a "Pink Out" game Friday, February 5 for the St. Anthony High School boys' basketball game against Teutopolis. Everyone is encouraged to wear pink to the game to paint the gym pink for breast cancer awareness.

The theme of the night is "Playing Tonight for a Cure Tomorrow" and everyone will be decked out in pink with the basketball players wearing pink shoelaces and the coaches sporting pink shirts or ties.

St. Anthony High School students have been selling pink T-Shirts to students to wear the night of the game. Pink hearts, pink wristbands and other items will be available for purchase at the game. Funds raised from the purchase of these items will benefit HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital's Women's Wellness Center to enhance the experience for their patients.

A special recognition ceremony and check presentation to the Friends of St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital to support the hospitals' Women's Wellness Center will be held between the junior varsity and varsity basketbalal games that evening.
