MBU Volleyball to Host "Dig for the Cure" Match

The Missouri Baptist University women’s volleyball team will be digging for more than a win over McKendree University on October third. They will be digging for a cure.

The Lady Spartans are participating in a “Dig for the Cure” night to benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The MBU women’s volleyball program is securing pledges for each dig they record during their October third match. Donations will also be accepted at the gate. In addition to raising funds, MBU athletics will pass out pink ribbons, key chains and breast self-exam cards to spectators, courtesy of the Komen Foundation.

The “Dig for the Cure” match will take place at MBU’s Muncy Gymnasium on Wednesday, October 3 at 7:00 p.m.

The Dig for the Cure campaign was originally started in 2003 by Charlotte Head Coach Lisa Marston, and has spread to numerous other volleyball programs across the country since.
