🩷🌸 IT’S TIME FOR COMET PINK OUT! 🌸🩷

September 29, 2026 vs Lisbon🏐

One of the things that makes West Liberty so special is how we come together to care for others. 💞

Each season, Comet Volleyball is proud to host our Pink Out Night—a night that means so much more than volleyball. 💗🏐

We invite all Comet fans AND our visiting fans to join us by filling the gym with PINK as we come together to:

💕 Celebrate those who have beaten cancer
🎀 Support those who are currently fighting
💗 Remember and honor those we have lost

No matter which team you’re cheering for, on Pink Out Night we are all on the same team. Together, we show our support, spread awareness, and remind those affected by cancer that they are surrounded by a community that cares.

If interested, pink Comet Strong t-shirts can be purchased.

🩷 The Pink Out Store is LIVE!
📅 Order by September 10th
👕 Shirts available around September 28
📍 Pickup details TBA

👉 SHOP HERE: https://stores.teamelitesports.com/west_liberty_volleyball/shop/home

Thank you for supporting Comet Pink Out! 💞
