Staples Footballers Get Their Pink On

Friday’s Staples High School football game at home against Trumbull High School at 7 p.m. will find the Wreckers wearing pink as part of their third annual breast cancer fundraising event. The school is in sports pink week mode with varsity soccer, volleyball and field hockey teams also playing for the cause. This year’s T-shirt “Defy, Wreck, Cure” is the team’s slogan and for the game, players will wear pink receiving gloves to show their support. The pink accessories are on sale with all monies raised donated to “Pink Aid” (http://www.pinkaid.org), a local nonprofit organization started by Andrew Mitchell of the Westport Mitchell family.
