Girls Basketball Aims to Help Great Cause With Pink Out Game
As the holiday season is upon us, the Oak Lawn girls basketball team is continuing to give its support to a worthwhile cause. Thursday, December 12, the Spartans will host their annual Pink Out Game to help raise money and awareness for Breast Cancer.
The annual Pink Out event will feature the girls varsity, sophomore and freshmen teams along with the freshmen boys. The program will be selling T-shirts for $10 each.
This year it is truly a personal endeavor as the proceeds will go to head coach Janet Meyers’ sister Mary Haubenreiser, who was diagnosed in October with Stage 4 inflammatory breast cancer. It is a rare form of breast cancer that spreads quickly.

“Mary worked as a teacher assistant at OLCHS for several years and now is the Director of Students at Excel Academy of Englewood,” Meyers said. “She is a single mom with five-year-old twins. Please consider supporting this event. It will be an exciting night of basketball for a great cause.”
Help support a great cause, help support a positive message and help support the girls basketball program. Come out on Thursday, December 12, 2013, and help raise breast cancer awareness.
