River Forest, Ill. -

Collecting donations for breast cancer research each October, the Northern Athletics Conference has raised over $11,000 over the last two seasons.
For the second consecutive season the Dominican University volleyball program raised the most money in the Northern Athletics Conference (NAC) as part of the conference's annual Dig For Life fundraising effort. As a group, the NAC's 13 volleyball teams raised $6,454 for breast cancer research and education, donating the money to the Medical College of Wisconsin.

Through flat donations and donations for each dig at Dominican's home contests throughout the month of October during the last two seasons, the Stars have raised over $3,730.

"As a team we have made a commitment to actively participate in raising money for breast cancer research," commented Head Coach Tim Walenga. "Our girls take a lot of pride in the fact that we have won this friendly competition for two straight years and hopefully the money we've raised can help make a difference."
