Bump. Set. Spike and dig!

This Saturday one of the campus sororities, Omega Delta Chi, will host its third annual Bump For a Cure volleyball tournament.

The tournament will be held at the Bringle Lake Village sand volleyball court at 6:00 p.m. and all proceeds will go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

October, as is known widely, is breast cancer awareness month. Breast cancer is still the leading cause of death for women in the United States and is especially prominent in African-American women.

In years past, people from the community gather in hopes of raising funds to bump cancer away. Though they gather with smiles and laughter filling the air, the somber reminder of those lost to the ghastly disease is ever present.

As each volleyball is tossed in the air and bumped from side to side, the meaning of the tournament becomes more clear. Bump away the pain, bump for a cure.
