Luther
women's basketball team to raise money for breast cancer
research |
The Luther
women’s basketball team in conjunction with the Women’s
Basketball Coaches Association is asking all fans to
wear pink to its game at 2:00 p.m. Saturday to show support
for all women who have or have battled breast cancer.
Volunteers from the Decorah community will be handing out
pink ribbons and offering spectators an opportunity to
donate money or purchase Pink ZoneŽ t-shirts. All funds
raised will be donated to a local cancer organization.
The WBCA began the WBCA Pink ZoneŽ, formerly known as "Think
Pink", in 2007 as an initiative to raise breast cancer
awareness in women's basketball, on campuses and in
communities. Kay Yow, former North Carolina State University
head women's basketball coach, served as the catalyst for
the initiative after her third reoccurrence of breast cancer
in 2006.
In three years of conducting
the fund drive, the event has raised over $2.5 million
nationwide. |
