A record total of $24,000 was raised for the United Cancer Assistance Network and the Dig for Life program during the fifth annual Pink-Out Day fundraiser on Friday, Oct. 17, in cooperation with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Something of a local holiday, Pink-Out Day is the brainchild of Poplar Bluff Junior High science teacher Jenn Nicolini, Senior High Student Council advisor Hope Conover, and former student Brooke Kirby.
