This fundraiser is being run in conjunction and support of "Suits and Sneakers night" a project put on in association with "Coaches vs Cancer" a cause co-sponsored by the NABC and the American Cancer Society

During that week they would like to see all high school games officiated with either a white (boys) or pink (girls) whistle.

Our area uses blue whistles (boys) and pink whistles (girls).

I use to quote Henry Ford, when talking to young officials: "Your whistle can be any color you want so long as it is black".

But I'd surely make an exception for a good cause.

Good line. Funny, and a history lesson. But is not quite correct. Henry Ford actually offered his Model T in three colors, "Black, black, or black". Not only did he want all of his employees to be able to afford a Model T, he wanted to give them a choice in colors.
