Keene State Fights Breast Cancer in WBCA Pink Zone Week Game

From Stuart Kaufman, Sports Information: Keene State and UMass-Boston joined more than 1,500 institutions and organizations to participate in the 2009 Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) fight against breast cancer during Pink Zone Week, February 13–22.

Fans wearing pink to either the Keene State women’s or men’s basketball games against UMass-Boston games on February 21 were given free admission. In addition, both Owl and Beacon women players wore pink shooting shirts, and the KSC Student Athletic Activities Committee (SAAC) held a 50/50 raffle with proceeds going toward the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund.

The WBCA Pink Zone initiative is a global, unified effort for the WBCA’s nation of coaches to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, in communities, and beyond.
