GRYGLA, Minn — October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and schools across the region are using their athletic events to show support for those who have battled cancer, remember those who have been lost, and recognize the survivors and families who continue to fight.

Grygla Public School will be doing its part Thursday night with a Pink Out during the Chargers’ volleyball match on October 8 hosting Kittson County Central.

The school will be turning the gym pink as students, athletes and fans come together to show their support and help bring awareness to breast cancer and the impact it has on families throughout the area.

Grygla Superintendent Nick Amb says the night is about much more than just volleyball, and he explains what the school has planned and who they are honoring.

Again that match is Thursday night at Grygla schools.
