TIGERS
CONTINUE PARTICIPATION IN PINK ZONE
Lawrenceville, VA – January 28,
2010 -- The Saint Paul’s College Lady Tigers and Tigers
will participate in the WBCA’s 2010 Pink Zone events for
breast cancer awareness. The teams will compete against
the Lady Vikings and Vikings of Elizabeth City State
University in Elizabeth City, North Carolina on February
15, 2010.
Game times are 5:30 PM and
7:30 PM.
The WBCA Pink Zone is an effort to
unify coaches of the Women’s Basketball Coaches
Association (WBCA) in raising breast cancer awareness
beyond the courts and campuses and into the communities.
Beginning in 2007 as “Think Pink,” the initiative has
reached over 912,000 fans, with 1600 teams and
organizations participating in 2009. Last year’s
campaign raised over $1.3 million.
The funds raised from the SPC
Athletics’ 2009 events were split 50/50 between the
WBCA’s charity Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund (The V
Foundation) and The American Cancer Society.
Although they will not host
a Pink Zone game this year, the department is accepting
donations through the month of February.
They will also continue to
offer information through their administrative office to
the campus and the community.
To donate to this year’s campaign, or to request
information regarding breast cancer, please call
(434) 848-9605.
