SEQUIM — Back-to-back games pitting Port Angeles and Sequim softball teams are planned today (Monday) to promote cancer awareness.

The junior varsity and varsity softball teams from Port Angeles and Sequim high schools will play beginning at 4:15 p.m. at the Sequim High School fields at 601 N. Sequim Ave.

The games are free, but donations will be accepted for Pink Up Port Angeles.

Pink Up Port Angeles is an annual campaign organized by the Soroptimist International of Port Angeles Noon Club that raises money for Operation Uplift, a Port Angeles-based group that provides help and information for people with cancer.

Those who wear pink to the games — or who arrive by 6:15 p.m. — can be part of a community portrait taken after the games, with participants forming a pink “cancer ribbon” for the photograph, said Shawnna Rigg, an organizer with Sequim Softball Boosters.
