Fans can also buy pink T-shirts for $8, pink wristbands for $1 and specially shaped pretzels for $2. Proceeds will benefit the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation.
Student Council President Brittany Bursa called the annual "pink out" one of the school's most popular events. "It links the whole school for the common good and shows everyone that although we a large diverse school community, we can come together for an important cause." she said.
"The Pink Out helps draw attention to this disease in the hopes of encouraging more research and awareness, as well as celebrating those courageous survivors and acknowledging those loved ones we have lost."
This year's shirts are black with a bright pink ribbon and the words "Hunterdon Central Pink Out."
This is the third “pink out” by Hunterdon Central's Student Council. Members have sold the special T-shirts at unit lunch all week long, about 500 so far, in support of the fight against breast cancer.
Snack Shack proceeds and additional donations will also benefit the Komen foundation.
There will also be flashes of pink on the cheerleaders and band members. Central’s hard-playing team will take the field with pink leg bands added to their black-and-red uniforms and Phillipsburg's powerhouse players will sport pink socks.
Central teacher and Student Council adviser Jane Paradiso hopes that fans will show their support by wearing pink.
