Box Score (FAYETTEVILLE, NC) - The USA
South Athletic Conference's basketball teams participated in the
Women's Basketball Coaches Association's (WBCA) "Play 4Kay". This
program is an opportunity for a nation of coaches to raise breast
cancer awareness and funds for research on the court, across
campuses, in communities and beyond. The official charity is the
Kay Yow Cancer Fund in partnership with The V Foundation and
Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA).
USA
South institutions chose multiple ways to participate in the
initiative. Many teams collected money through donations and
merchandise sales and gave that collection to various organizations
such as the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund, the Susan G. Komen Breast
Cancer Foundation and other local organizations for breast cancer
awareness and support. Additionally, many teams incorporated pink
in their uniforms in the form of pink socks, pink shoelaces, pink
warm-up shirts and custom-made pink jerseys. Please visit your
local institution's athletic website for information on their
involvement in the "Play 4Kay" initiative.
