WESTFIELD STATE TO "THINK PINK"
On Saturday, Feb. 16, during the Westfield State women's basketball home game vs. Fitchburg State, the teams, coaches, officials, and staff will show their support to put an end to breast cancer.
Please join us at the Woodward Center for the game, which begins at 1:00 p.m., by wearing and thinking pink. All fans wearing pink at the game will be entered into a raffle for two $25 gift certificates.
Westfield State is one of over 900 participants in the 2008
"Think Pink" initiative this week. The "Think Pink" initiative is a
global, unified effort by the Women's Basketball Coaching
Association (WBCA) to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on
the court, across
campuses, in communities and beyond.
"The WBCA is very excited to promote an initiative that touches
all levels of our membership and unifies them for such a great
cause," said WBCA CEO Beth Bass. "It has been
remarkable to watch the support of this initiative grow from 120
teams last year to over 900 teams from a
variety of sports for 2008. With the help of each of our members,
the women's basketball community and beyond can make a difference
in the fight against breast cancer."
Information on breast cancer, as well information from local support agencies, will be provided at the game. Arlela Bethel from the local American Cancer Society will be will be present as well. There will be other "Think Pink" prizes and giveaways during the game.
