Student-athletes connected with the Mangums during the team\u2019s annual community-wide leaf raking project and Lisa asked about ways to help the program. Head Coach Justin Wagar mentioned the jerseys as an idea. \u201cThe players had been talking for awhile about other teams getting pink uniforms, but our budget just didn\u2019t allow for it,\u201d Wagar said. \u201cWe\u2019re very grateful to Shawn and Lisa, and the girls are so excited to wear their new jerseys. It\u2019s really something to be proud of and celebrate. What we\u2019d like to do in the future as a team is give something back to nonprofit organizations dedicated to breast cancer awareness and supporting survivors.\u201dThe Mangums first became involved with the Mountaineer Athletic Association after moving to La Grande 16 years ago and are lifetime Booster Club members. \u201cA lot of the people we met were involved in the athletic department and we thought it would be a great idea to get involved, too,\u201d Lisa recalled. Lisa is also pursuing her degree in anthropology\/sociology with an emphasis in anthropology from EOU. She hopes to graduate in winter term 2016. \u201cAs a student, I see how hard the athletes work in the classroom to maintain good grades as well as be active in sports,\u201d Lisa said. \u201cWe\u2019re in a unique position to support them and it is our pleasure to do so.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When members of the EOU women\u2019s soccer team hit the field this fall they were wearing bright new uniforms of a different color thanks to a $1,000 donation from Shawn and Lisa Mangum enabling them to \u201cgo pink\u201d for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
