The Ironladies are involved with the Volley For The Cure this season, which the match takes place during the annual Apple Festival Tournament.

Just getting the word out here to everyone who wishes to attend or help by donating.


The Ironladies are serving up another kill against breast cancer.

The Jackson High School volleyball team is participating in the Volley For The Cure 2009, which aims to increase awareness of breast cancer among high school students, staff and the community, and to raise funds for the Ohio affiliates of the Susan G.Komen for the Cure.

The Ironladies' actual Volley For The Cure match will be held during the team's annual Apple Festival Tournament, which is set this season for Saturday, Sept. 26 at Jackson High School.

The four-team tournament also includes Oak Hill, Wellston and Vinton County, and begins at 10 a.m.

The exact matchups have yet to be determined.

The Ironladies will wear special pink uniforms that day, and all money raised will go to help the Susan G. Komen for the Cure — the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.

A split-the-pot raffle will be held that day as well.
