Addan Poltson, 11th grade Varsity football player, shares his thoughts by stating, “I wear pink because I want others to know that I am a supporter of Breast Cancer Awareness.”

Abbrianna Washington, 11th grade Varsity basketball player, said “ Just by wearing pink will spread the word on how serious Breast Cancer really is.”
