PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas — In an effort to promote Breast Cancer Awareness, Prairie View A&M’s Lady Panthers basketball team will host “Think Pink Day” on Saturday, February 9th when PVAMU takes on cross town rival Texas Southern University. The women’s game will tip-off at 5:30 p.m. Contributions collected at the game will be donated to the Kay Yow/WBCA (Women’s Basketball Coaches Association) Cancer Fund and the American Cancer Society. The first 100 fans will receive a free “Think Pink” t-shirt as well as other giveaways throughout the game.”

 Many of us know somebody that has been affected by breast cancer and we are more than happy to do our part in raising awareness of this disease,” said Prairie View A&M’s Athletics Director Charles McClelland. “We are looking forward to what should be a really special day.”  Breast cancer survivors are encouraged to attend the game in pink and support the cause.
The Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research launched the initiative in early December. It honors NC State women’s coach Kay Yow, who worked alongside Jim Valvano at NC State before he succumbed to cancer in 1993. Yow, who has more than 700 coaching victories, was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987 and learned in November she has stage-four cancer.
More than 650 universities will celebrate “Think Pink” week February 8th thru 17th. The WBCA will hold the 4Kay run/walk as part of the Final Four festivities on April 5th.
