Neuse Charter THINKS PINK

By: Naeem Davis & Cate McLamb

​Every year Neuse Charter School raises awareness for breast cancer during the month of October by hosting THINK PINK games. These games are held by the High School Volleyball and Soccer teams. The teams each have their players wear pink jerseys and decorate the field and the gym in pink to put an emphasis on the importance of breast cancer awareness.

The boys move on to 2-4 in the conference, currently placed 4th overall. Neuse Today would like to congratulate the soccer team on this achievement!
