On Saturday,
February 20th at 2:00 PM the University of Akron Women's Basketball
team will host the annual Pink Zone game to benefit breast cancer awareness. The Pink Zone initiative is a unified effort
for the Women's Basketball Coaches of America to assist the Kay Yow Fund in
raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research. Throughout the game there will be a variety
of activities designed to educate and inform fans about the importance of breast
cancer awareness and prevention efforts.
In order to
raise funds for the Kay Yow Fund, Akron Athletics has created an official Pink
Zone t-shirt (see photo for shirt front design). This unique shirt is available for only $8,
with half of the proceeds going directly to the Kay Yow Fund. As an additional incentive, anyone wearing
the shirt to the Pink Zone game will receive FREE ADMISSION.
To order
your Pink Zone shirt, please call 330-972-7848.
Shirts can also be ordered in person by visiting Suite 83 in Rhodes
Arena on the campus of the University of Akron.
Please Note: Shirts will not be shipped - orders can be picked up at Rhodes Arena. Shirts are available in Adult Sizes S-XL.
