Fundraising Spotlight  

Kolbi’s “Dig Pink” Fundraiser

When Kolbi was in 7th grade, she was treated for stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. “It was during the COVID pandemic,” said her mom, Bree. “She went through eight rounds of chemotherapy, and we celebrated her birthday distanced from her friends, but she never lost her smile!” 

Now, Kolbi is a healthy high school student. To honor her experience and help others, she and her volleyball team have joined up with teams all over the country to raise money for cancer research at Fred Hutch. Their fundraiser is called “Dig Pink.”

“Our family is happy to be a part of a special fundraiser for a place that means so much to us,” said Kolbi's mom.
