February 1, 2012 — The Side-Out Ambassador Program (SOAP) is back! Last year’s winners truly impressed us with their creativity, commitment and passion, and we’re looking forward to being wowed again this year. The inaugural SOAP awards were only offered during the fall, but we have revised our application process and any interested student can apply now through November 16th! This allows for more time to organize their events and complete the required educational hours.
The program consists of three award opportunities: the Side-Out Community Service Award, the Side-Out Scholarship Award and the Side-Out/AVCA National Dig Pink Award. Requirements vary for each award, but all of them encourage community involvement and breast cancer education. 
Each applicant must complete a specific process and checklist of items to be eligible for the awards. All applications are due by Monday, December 3rd (date was extended from November 16th following Hurricane Sandy). Winners will be notified by Friday, December 14th, 2012. Review board members will be announced by the end of June 2012. Click here to fill out an application.
For more information, contact Julie Matthews.

My daughter’s coach gave us this link and it sounds like a wonderful program! My daughter is 16 and on her high school volleyball team…and is already a colon cancer survivor. I wish your program was broader in spectrum to include other forms of cancer, even though we know breast cancer is much more likely than colon cancer in girls.
