McHie Arena

Our #14 nationally ranked Olivet Nazarene University women's volleyball program is hosting their annual "Dig Pink" match in McHie Arena as they take on Trinity Christian College.

The match is a breast cancer rally that aims to raise money and awareness for the most common cancer in American women. T-shirts will be sold to students, faculty and staff the week before the match in Ludwig Center for $10.

Before, during and after the volleyball match, there also will be a silent auction with gifts from various local businesses as well as an autographed baseball by Alfonzo Soriano and an autographed Chicago Bears Authentic Helmet given & signed by Alex Brown, Matt Forte, Charles Tillman, Danieal Manning, and other members of the Chicago Bears!

Admission (donation) to the match is $1.00 if you wear pink.

ALL proceeds from t-shirts, auction, and admission go toward breast cancer awareness.
