Going too Far?

And breast cancer has been mentioned several times already. The mere existence of this thread and the fact that we might talk about pink (and thus think of breast cancer research) on the field has accomplished their goal.

On top of this:

I had a crew member ask me about this a couple of years ago. I thought about it for some time. Finally, I said, "Sure, we'll do this, but I'll only do it if we do it as a crew and put together a donation at the end of the season."

One of my crew members doesn't contribute. I don't pressure him -- rather, I quietly contribute his share myself. I remember what it was like when my boss tried pressuring me to give to the United Way years ago. I didn't and it was uncomfortable.

Without the conversation of wearing pink, I doubt any of this happens. Next year I plan to take this association-wide (I'll pay for the whistles/lanyards from my association budget) and see how much money we can raise for the BCRF.
