Warsaw gets a little time off before it closes out NLC play on Thursday with Concord visiting the Tiger Den. The Lady Tigers will be hosting its annual “Pink-Out” event, with free admission to all elementary and middle school volleyball players wearing their jerseys to the match.

The evening will feature pink mini-volleyballs for sale with a chance to win a sports pass. Three gift baskets, one each designed by the varsity, JV and freshman teams, will be auctioned off. A “Wall Of Hope” will be made for fans to write the names of people who have or are currently battling cancer, and a bake sale will be held. The event is intended to raise money and awareness for cancer research.
The freshman (playing in the Career Center gym) and JV matches begin at 5:30 p.m., with the varsity match to follow.
