IBEW 1245 members from Unit #1218, Lompoc, contributed more than $200 to support the Lompoc-Cabrillo Tie Dye Volleyball game in late September. All proceeds from the game will be donated to the American Cancer Society.
The game was organized by Cabrillo High Volleyball Team Captain Fallon Wynne, the daughter of IBEW 1245 members Shawn and Angela Wynne, as part of Wynne’s senior project. Previously known as the Pink Game benefitting breast cancer research, Wynne decided to expand the project and make it more inclusive.
“I always knew my senior project was going to be the game for cancer. As captain, I inherited the project, but I thought, why not incorporate all the cancers so it’s not biased toward one? Tie Dye, benefiting all cancer research, means more to the community than pink,” Wynne told the Lompoc Record.
This year’s game raised more than $1,300 for the American Cancer Society, surpassing the amount previous years. IBEW 1245 members from the Lompoc Unit and the IBEW Veterans Committee were proud to support the community effort.
