Auglaize County, OH (WLIO) - Their colors may be Orange and Brown, but the Uniopolis Browns were all about the pink during their game on Sunday. The midget football team held a “Pink Out” during their game against the Shelby County Wildcats. The “Pink Out” is an annual tradition, and the proceeds go to the Auglaize County Cancer Society. They raise money through raffles, 50/50 drawings, and concession sales. Last year, they donated around $2,000, and they are hoping to do more this year. The cheerleaders and the fans proudly wore their pink to show their support for the cause, which means a lot to the Uniopolis community.
“Everyone of our families or friends have been affected by breast cancer in some way or another,” says Laurel Wireman, Pres. of the Uniopolis Browns. “So, it is something for us to give back to the community. The kids really get into it, the parents really get into it.”
The Browns have been raising money for the Auglaize County Cancer Society with their “Pink Out” for around 10 years now.
