Heck, I may even ask them tonight! Thanks for the heads up.

I have a coachs V cancer game on the 11th where did you get your whistle?

This is really neat that you guys do this in your own associations or leagues. We don't and I've never really thought about it. I'm sure if it hits home we'll probably do something like what you all do.

Didn't even realize this was the weekend. I do have a pink whistle in my bag but my D3 game was cancelled due to weather.

Sorry to hear that BNR - I'm hoping to get my games in tomorrow, but things are not looking too good. Supposed to be worse where you are though. Good luck

(Don't forget the M-B-TP!)

We've been using the pink whistles since the 18th of January and go through this weekend. Our association used pink whistles and lanyards and co-sponsored a shootout on the 16th of January for coaches v. cancer. A 7 game event.

We did this for a week in VT & that assn still does that. I have a white whistle with a pink ribbon. I am going to suggest that to our association for next year. It is a great cause. My mother-in-law battled cancer for 26 years and passed away in November. Both of my parents have battled it and are cancer free. This touches everyone. Thanks for the reminder.
