Pink Out 2025: In October, We Wear Pink

Every October, pink brings people together. Whether it’s on the field, in the stands, or across your campus, ‘Pink Out’ season is more than a t-shirt, it’s a statement of unity, strength, and support in the fight against cancer.

We’re proud to help schools, teams, and communities show their colors for a cause, with fresh designs, flexible fundraising options, and the support you need to make your Pink Out event a success.

What’s New This Year: 2025 Pink Out Designs

We’ve released all-new customizable Pink Out designs, ready to help you rally your community in style. This year’s designs feature bold graphics, fresh fonts, and creative layouts that reflect the spirit of hope and support.

Pro Tip: Don’t feel limited by our featured designs! If you have a custom idea or want to collaborate on something unique, we’re here to help bring it to life!

Fundraising That Works for You

While many groups fundraise with Pink Out apparel, we know every program is different.

Instead of revisiting general fundraising tips (we’ve got a full guide for that), here are 3 unique ideas to try this year:

1. "Pink Out Pep Rally" with Donation Challenges

Host a special Pink Out-themed pep rally where attendees can participate in donation-based challenges, such as:

Pie the Principal/Coach in the Face for $5 per vote. Volunteers with the most votes gets “smashed” with the pie.
"Change Wars" between grade levels, where students drop spare change in jars (or digital donations) to compete for a reward like extra recess, early lunch release, or dress-down day.
Include guest speakers such as breast cancer survivors or local healthcare advocates to inspire giving.

2. "Pink the Parking Lot" Tailgate Event

Before a home game or during lunchtime, host a tailgate-style event in the school parking lot with:

Food trucks or concessions with a portion of sales donated.
Local business booths with giveaways or raffles.
A car decorating contest where students pay an entry fee to deck out their cars in pink, with a prize for best vehicle. Judged by staff or community leaders.

3. "Pink Out Game Night" or Movie Night

Host an after-school game night or movie screening where students pay admission (e.g., $5) with all proceeds going to the Pink Out cause. Extras:

Sell pink-themed snacks (cotton candy, pink lemonade, cupcakes).
Host a raffle or silent auction with donated items from local businesses.
Add a "Glow in the Dark" Pink theme with glow sticks and lights for added appeal.

All Awareness Matters: Supporting Every Cause

While October is a time to focus on pink, our commitment to supporting those affected by cancer extends far beyond one color or one month. Each awareness campaign - whether it’s lavender for all cancers, gold for childhood cancer, or another color that hits close to home - deserves to be seen, heard, and supported.

That’s why we offer design options for many different awareness campaigns throughout the year. If your school or organization champions another cause, we’re ready to help you create apparel and events that reflect your mission.

Together, we can make a difference. One color, one shirt, one story at a time.

Let’s Make an Impact Together

For us, Pink Out is more than a season, it’s a chance to support the schools we serve and the families we care about. From small-town fundraisers to stadium-wide Pink Outs, we’ve seen what’s possible when communities rally for a cause.

That’s why we’re committed to making ordering easy, fundraising flexible, and your designs unforgettable.
