'Pink Out' Planned for Winters Mill, Westminster Football Game Friday Night

Athletes and fans at Friday night's football game at Winters Mill High School will wear pink to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The Winters Mill High School football stadium is going to be a wall of pink as football players and fans promote breast cancer awareness at Friday night's game against Westminster High School.

According to Kelly Chiavacci, a Winters Mill athletic boosters volunteer and parent of two students, Winters Mill has declared Friday a "pink out" at the stadium in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. They are requesting that all game attendees wear pink.

Chiavacci said that they have been selling pink t-shirts to students, fans and faculty and the proceeds will go to the cancer center at Carroll Hospital Center.

"The [football] team will be wearing pink socks, the field hockey team will be there with pink streaks in their hair, there will be pink balloons, pink beads and bracelets -- there will be lots of fans supporting our cause," Chiavacci said. "We hope to collect donations and sell the rest of the shirts so that we can give a great donation to the cancer center."

The weather is forecast to be perfect for a hometown high school football game Friday night--cool, crisp and clear--so cover yourself in pink and attend the football game to cheer on your team and support an important cause.

The Winters Mill Falcons will face off against the Westminster Owls at 7 p.m. at Winters Mill on Friday night.

Will you attend the game decked out in pink? Tell us in comments.

I think it's amazing when our younger citizens support a cause and get excited about it. It's the youthful enthusiasm and awareness of issues that will one day help us cure diseases like cancer. Bravo to the Winters Mill and Westminster High School communities for rallying behind this cause, and to all the students across the county who are participating in other Breast Cancer Awareness events this month. I'm so proud to be a part of this community. Go pink!

Congratulations graduates! May you be as successful in the next part of your journey as you were atRead More St. John School.

I don't live in your district and I am not a member of your party. I have watched you during yourRead More meetings with the commissioners and you handle things very well. You have a balance of private and public sector experience which is a necessary background to have to guide the county. It will be nice to have a competent person with your qualifications to run against someone who is totally unqualified but never had any opposition in the last election. Now she will have to attend the voter forums and explin her views and positions. Let the chips fall where they may. The emperor will have no clothes.

Wow, this is great news. Hopefully, 1 down and 4 to go!! Make sure Frazier shows up at theRead More political forums this time. She chose to miss every one last time, so she did not have to answer questions on her positions and her horrible record the first time around in 1998-2002. She will try to do that again to get re-elected.

If Frazier runs for reelection in 2014, I hope someone will have the nerve to ask her pointblank, onRead More camera, about her relationship to Roscoe Bartlett. Folks who've been around Carroll County for a while know the answer: there is no relation. She just tacked that on when she decided to run the first time. It may be her maiden name - or not - but she has never bothered to answer the question. She just let folks assume there is a connection, and lots of folks fell for it.
