Marshall Technical School students dance for a cause at the 13th annual Pink Glove event

MARSHALL COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) – More than 200 Marshall Technical School students gathered this week for the school’s 13th annual Pink Glove Dance, an October tradition that raises funds to support breast cancer programs in Marshall County.

The event, held as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, helps fund the Marshall County Mammogram Assistance Program, which provides financial assistance for screening, treatment, transportation and recovery supplies for local breast cancer survivors.

Students from several technical programs participated in the event, including the Collision Repair program, which built and painted a car hood black and pink. They invited students whose family members were affected by breast cancer to sign it.

Among the signatories was Marshall County Superintendent Dr. Cindy Wigley, who added her name in honor of members of her own family.

In addition to dancing, students sold pink T-shirts and raised more than $1,500 for the cause. Over the past 13 years, the Pink Glove Dance has helped raise thousands of dollars to ensure local residents can access lifesaving breast cancer screenings and care.

Medical preparation students also played a key role in organizing the event, demonstrating that young people can have a real impact in the fight against breast cancer.
