Light-Up LED Pom Poms
Metallic streamers with LEDs built into the pom, a rechargeable pack, and one remote that changes the whole team’s color at once.
$145 USD per pair
For athletic directors, spirit coordinators and promotions teams: light-up pom poms switch the squad to pink or lavender by remote on the survivors’ moment, and light-up face stickers put the crowd in the same colour. Poms are $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs; custom ribbon stickers are quoted from 1,000 units.
Which awareness nights should your team plan for, and in what colour?
Plan the order around the night’s colour: the squad’s poms, the crowd’s giveaways and the lighting should all match it. The calendar by sport:
| Sport | Awareness night | When | Colour |
|---|---|---|---|
| Football | Pink out game | Often October | Pink |
| Volleyball | Dig Pink® rally (The Side-Out Foundation) | Fall | Pink |
| Basketball | Coaches vs. Cancer® Suits and Sneakers | Late January | Varies |
| Hockey | Hockey Fights Cancer | At least one home game per NHL club | Lavender |
| Any sport | Breast-cancer awareness night | Club’s choice | Pink |
Anyone can organise a Dig Pink rally, not only players (source: The Side-Out Foundation), and each of the NHL’s 32 teams designates at least one home game as a Hockey Fights Cancer night (source: Hockey Fights Cancer). Because light-up poms switch colour by remote, one squad set covers pink, lavender and team colours across every one of these nights.
What makes an awareness night stand out?
- One colour everywhere: crowd, lighting, giveaways and performers.
- One moment for survivors, announced and lit.
- A giveaway everyone uses at that moment, not just a souvenir.
- Performers in the cause colour, switching on the moment.
- A photo from the top of the stands.
At one Dig Pink event, both teams held a ceremony honouring survivors and presented flowers, followed by a moment of silence (source: Side-Out: So You Wanna Do a Dig Pink Event?).
How do schools raise money on awareness nights?
| Idea | Real example |
|---|---|
| Ticket donations | One school charged $3 for adults and $1 for students and donated all admission |
| Bake sales and T-shirts | Common at school Dig Pink events |
| Raffles | Run alongside the match |
| Pledges per play | Coaches vs. Cancer began with fans pledging per three-point shot |
| 50/50 raffles | Part of Hockey Fights Cancer nights |

Which giveaways work on awareness nights?
- Light-up face stickers in the cause colour, handed out at the gate and lit for the survivors’ moment.
- Custom ribbon-shaped stickers for the biggest night of the year (1,000-unit minimum, quoted).
- Pro examples: the Sabres give every fan a Hockey Fights Cancer scarf on November 6 (source: Buffalo Sabres), and the Blues offer a pink hat with Pink at the Rink theme tickets (source: St. Louis Blues theme tickets).
Custom LED face stickers in your school’s shape and colours start at a 1,000-unit order and are quoted. A University of Texas alumni VIP suite ordered 1,000 from us; see custom LED face stickers in bulk.

Pegatinas LED para la cara
Reusable, water-resistant LED face stickers that stay cool on your skin, with a replaceable coin battery.
$22 USD
What should the cheer squad and dance team do?
The performers are the moment’s focal point. Light-up poms switch to pink or lavender by remote on the survivors’ announcement and back to team colours for the rest of the game, so the squad does not need a separate set for one night. See pink pom poms for cheer teams.
| Group | Pairs | Cost at the team rate |
|---|---|---|
| Squad of 12 | 14 | $1,680 |
| Squad of 18 | 20 | $2,400 |
| Squad and dance team, 30 together | 32 | $3,840 |
Pair counts include two spares, at $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs.
Who should plan an awareness night?
- Athletic director: date, approvals and the visiting team.
- Spirit coordinator or cheer coach: the performers’ moment.
- Booster club: fundraising and giveaways.
- A local sponsor, such as a health provider, for the giveaways.
- The charity partner, for the cause’s own guidelines.
How do you request a quote for an awareness night?
Email or DM us with the sport, the date, the cause colour, the squad size and expected attendance for giveaways. We make our light-up products ourselves and will tell you plainly what fits your date. See team orders for how a group order works.
