Volleyball game with Ada hosting Lincolnview on Oct. 13.

This year’s Ada volleyball game, drawing attention to “Fight for The Cure,” is in honor of the mother of one of the Bulldog players.

Erin Robinson, mother of Ada’s freshman volleyball player, Daicy Robinson, will be recognized at the game, scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 13.

Erin is currently winning her second battle with cancer. She has chosen the IBC Network Foundation, as recipient of the proceeds raised this year in coordination with this event. 

Proceeds will be raised through a t-shirt sale, gift baskets that will be raffled off at the game and other donations.
