On Tuesday, October 6, 2026, La Jolla High School held their annual Dig 4 a Cure Volleyball game to raise money for Breast Cancer. October is respected as Breast Cancer Awareness month in a variety of countries all around the world. In order to raise money for the cause, the boy’s water polo team traded the pool for the volleyball court to face off the girl’s volleyball team. With all participants adorned in pink, the game brings students together to spread awareness while enjoying some friendly competition. After 3 matches, the boys barely won the tiebreaker with a final score of 15-14. Although the water polo players were used to competing in their pool, they worked hard to return serves and block hits in order to keep the rallies alive between the more experienced volleyball girls. At the same time, the girls were able to put their skills to the test with coordinated plays and technical serves.

How should visible community value be weighed against gradual ecological harm?
