First Flight High School’s Annual “Dig Pink” Volleyball Game Supports Local Cancer Outreach

The Annual “Dig Pink” Volleyball Game at First Flight High School brought students, families, and neighbors together in a powerful show of teamwork and community spirit. While the Nighthawks celebrated an exciting victory over Northeastern High School, the evening’s true highlight was how it united the community off the court in support of those facing cancer.

This year’s game held special meaning as the team honored Jessi Donnellan for her brave fight against breast cancer. Her strength and courage served as a reminder of the importance of community support and hope in the face of adversity.

All proceeds from the event will directly benefit Interfaith Community Outreach’s (ICO) Cancer Outreach Program, which provides vital financial assistance to individuals and families in Dare County facing cancer. Through this partnership, funds raised help cover travel expenses for treatment, essential household bills, and other critical needs so that patients can focus on healing.

“Events like Dig Pink show the heart of this community,” said Jean Freeman, ICO Cancer Outreach Coordinator. “We’re grateful to First Flight High School for using their platform to support local families and spread awareness for a cause that touches so many lives.”

ICO extends sincere thanks to First Flight High School, the volleyball team, coaches, and fans for their generosity, spirit, and dedication to making a difference. Together, they continue to show that compassion and community are the strongest forces in the fight against cancer.
