October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Brownwood ISD is supporting this cause once again this year by designating Friday, October 31st as “Pink-Out” day.  Faculty, staff, and students throughout the district will be seen wearing pink throughout the day to increase awareness and raise money for those within the BISD family that are currently fighting cancer.

Brownwood ISD is encouraging employees, students, parents, and community members to consider purchasing the pink t-shirt designed specifically for the event and wear it to school or work and to the Brownwood Lions vs. Snyder Tigers football game later that evening. The football game begins at 7:30 p.m., and the BHS Lions football players, as well as all extracurricular groups (drill team, cheerleaders, Lion Crew, band, etc.) will be sporting pink on their uniforms.

This year’s t-shirt features the message, “GO pink, FIGHT cancer, WIN the battle” and is available by pre-order only.  Order forms can be found online at www.brownwoodisd.org/pinkout and can also be filled out at the Brownwood ISD Central Office at 2707 Southside Drive, or at any Brownwood ISD campus.

The cost per t-shirt is $10 for all sizes youth through adult XL, and $12 for 2X and 3X.  All orders must be made by Friday, October 17 at 4:00 p.m.

This is the 3rd year for the “Pink-Out” the fundraiser, which raised over $13,000 last year, with a large $5000 donation from Big Country Ford revealed at the game.  Brownwood ISD hopes to top last year’s effort which was able to help five individuals within the district battling cancer.
