Pink Zone on Wednesday Night at DeVos
The Flying Dutch will don pink uniforms as part of a national breast
cancer awareness initiative when they host the Kalamazoo Hornets Wednesday
night at DeVos Fieldhouse. The WBCA Pink ZoneŽ is a global, unified effort
for the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's (WBCA) nation of coaches
to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses,
in communities and beyond.
The WBCA began the Pink ZoneŽ, formerly known as "Think Pink", in 2007. 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. The 2009 campaign raised over $1.3 million, reached over 912,000 fans and unified more than 1,600 participating teams and organizations. The WBCA's charity of choice is the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer FundŽ, in partnership with The V Foundation.
