Amanda Eshelman, the Shorecrest senior who ran the Blue Day, Pink Night baseball / softball charitable event for cancer research as her senior project, reports that the event raised $2756 for Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.  

"We had three great games between Shorecrest and Shorewood. The sun was out and the games went well. It was a really great event for a great cause. It helped us raise a lot of money for research of one of the leading diseases in the U.S." 

The event raises money for breast cancer research (Pink) and prostate cancer research (Blue), the most typical female and male cancers.

In the alignment of student work between Shorecrest and Shorewood, Shorecrest seniors will no longer be required to do a senior project.

But Amanda says, "I really hope that the softball team continues this next year."
