More Than A Ribbon
Powderpuff is a female flag football game between the grades. This tradition at Glendale has been around for 10 years. Jenny Cofield said,
“Honestly, it’s one of my favorite things that we do because everybody has a good time.”
The main purpose of this event is to support women in breast cancer awareness.
“This year, we made just $1,100, which goes straight to BCFO. BCFO, which is the Breast Cancer Foundation of the Ozarks,” through donations at the gate. Cofield said.
As well the funds from all the girls uniforms go straight to the American Cancer Society through Glendale DECA. Freshman being able to play is a new thing that Glendale has started. The origin of the game was for juniors and seniors but Glendale has branched out.
Lainey Shook (9) said “ My aunt had breast cancer. She’s still alive today”. Shook said “She beat it. So it is kind of fun to represent her.”
The message for this event has always touched Glendale students. Mia Whitney (12) said “It is for a good cause and I think it shows a good message for Glendale and for us girls.”
Whitney stated “It is fun for us and it is also fun for people to watch”
Even with the message the girls always have fun. Shook said
“I got to meet a lot of new people. It was super fun.”
