BCCHS Students Raise Funds through Pink Out Game

BUTTE, MT – The Butte Central Student Council successfully launched its “Pink Bracelet” fundraiser during last Friday night’s Maroon football game, raising approximately $160, so far, to benefit two local scholarship programs.

The sale was part of Butte Central’s annual “Pink Game,” an event dedicated to breast cancer awareness. Students, fans, and athletes joined together by wearing pink and purchasing bracelets, showing solidarity with survivors and honoring those lost to the disease.

All proceeds from the fundraiser will be split between the Delaney Doherty Memorial Scholarship, which honors the life and spirit of Delaney by helping students pursue higher education, and the Mariah’s Challenge Scholarship, which awards young people who commit to living drug- and alcohol-free lives. Both organizations encourage positive choices and reflect values of hope, resilience, and community strength.

Student Council members plan to continue bracelet sales at this week’s volleyball game and throughout the month of October. A final donation to both scholarship programs will be made at the conclusion of the campaign.

“This fundraiser shows how our students can take an idea as simple as selling bracelets and turn it into something meaningful for our community,” said a Student

Council president, Molly Peck. “We’re proud to raise awareness for breast cancer while also supporting scholarships that encourage students to live with purpose.”
