Pink Whistles
Anyone else using the pink whistles tonight and through the weekend? It's the annual Coaches vs. Cancer Awareness Weekend. Our association requested us to use them.
ACS :: Coaches Making a Difference Foundations Resource Group - where you can purchase a whistle or donate. |

I think the whistle and a game fee is sufficient support for me, so I'm sticking with that this year.

This one hits close to home for me being a cancer survivor myself. In fact our past supervisor of officials lost his battle to cancer a few years back. Hopefully someday, they will find a cure to this awful thing.

Hopefully he's doing good now. I was only 1 1/2 so obviously I don't remember much. I had neuroblastoma. They found a grapefruit sized mass while doing a precautionary xray. Wasn't given much chance, but I am here today. I was told back then, I was the 2nd one to survive it. 40 some odd years living life to its fullest, so for me, every day is a good day.

We used our pink whistles earlier in the year. I haven't been informed about this weekend..... That being said, I always carry mine with me and will go with the flow if my partners are prepared!
Heck, I may even ask them tonight! Thanks for the heads up.

Pink Jerseys
Last week, or week before, one of the local Girls' V squads wore pink home uniforms for a Cancer Awareness Game.
That would be interesting to see a pink & black officials' shirt. The local major junior hockey team has an annual Breast Cancer Awareness night (pink laces, pink ice, pink jerseys, pink tape...).

In my area we were given pink and white whistle this year. We were told that we could wear them the last week in January (this week) to show support for Coaches v. Cancer. We were given pink for breast cancer (to wear at girls games) and white for prostate cancer (to wear during boys games). Last year we were given pink and blue whistles, wondering why they went with white rather than blue this year. Interesting that other areas only do pink.
