"Pink Out" Basketball Tournament Fundraiser

Glenelg Country School (GCS) and Annapolis Area Christian School (AACS) are joining efforts in hosting the 4th annual PINK OUT on February 4, 2012 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. to raise funds for Breast Cancer research.

Three years ago, Grace Mercer, a senior at AACS started the first PINK OUT basketball tournament. Her mother was a breast cancer survivor and Grace was greatly impacted by her mother’s battle. In three years, the event has raised over $22,000 for breast cancer research.

This year, AACS partnered with GCS and St. John’s Catholic Prep in efforts to raise an additional $10,000 for breast cancer research.  All proceeds go directly to the JoAnn DeCesaris Cancer Institute in Annapolis.
