Clemson Women’s Basketball to Take Part in Pink Zone Initiative

Feb. 9, 2010

CLEMSON, SC – The Clemson women’s basketball team is participating in the NCAA’s Pink Zone initiative designed to raise awareness for breast cancer research. The event will be held on Thursday, February 18 at 7:00 PM as the Lady Tigers play host to Miami. All of the money raised from the effort will be donated to the Kay Yow Foundation.

There are several ways for fans to participate. First, fans can make a pledge per free throw made by the Lady Tigers during the game. Fans can also make a flat donation to the cause. Pink Zone T-Shirts will be sold for $10.00 at all remaining women’s basketball games, on the library bridge the week of the game, by calling the IPTAY office, or by emailing amackey@clemson.edu. Information and sign-up sheets will be available at Guest Services and the marketing and promotions tables throughout Littlejohn Coliseum.

All breast cancer survivors and their families and any fans wearing pink will receive free admission for the Feb. 18 contest, which will be televised on CSS. The Clemson Athletic Department would like to thank IPTAY and Zeta Tau Alpha for their contributions.
