CINCINNATI – Xavier women’s basketball is scheduled to host its Play4Kay Pink Game on Friday, Feb. 27 as they take on Seton Hall. Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m. from Cintas Center with the first 250 fans in attendance receiving a pink Xavier rally towel.
This year, Xavier Athletics has partnered with the Pink Ribbon Girls to spread awareness and participate in the initiative to fight breast cancer. The Pink Ribbon Girls will be present at the game raffling off baskets and taking donations to support their cause.
The Pink Ribbon Girls is a local, non-profit organization that offers support for victims of breast cancer. They are devoted to offering direct services for individuals and families affected by the disease, such as group support, meals, transportation and house cleaning. For more information, visit www.pinkribbongirls.org.
The Pink Ribbon Girls are looking for two cheerleading teams (grades 1-3) and six ball kids (grades 5-8) to help with the game. They will be able to attend the game for free. Free admission is also extended to survivors who will be recognized during the game. Contact jan@pinkribbongirls.org for more information.
The BIG EAST Conference partnered with the Kay Yow Cancer Fund as part of the 2015 Play4Kay campaign. Coaches, student-athletes and fans from the BIG EAST took part in the Play4Kay initiative this year to raise awareness and funds in support of Coach Yow’s mission. Play4Kay began in 2007 and since its inception has raised over $3 million. This unique and important initiative serves as a platform for the women’s basketball community to come together for a common cause. For more information, visit www.kayyow.com.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for ages 3-17 and FREE to those two and under. Tickets can be purchased at GoXavier.com or at the box office on game day.
We encourage you to come out and support Xavier women’s basketball and anyone who has been affected by breast cancer, because “No One Travels this Road Alone.”
