Free pizza from Papa John's will be available at 1 p.m. while supplies last. At halftime of the Xavier game, fans are invited to come back for more fun and free cookies from Servatii. The Fan Zone will open at 1 p.m. and remain open until halftime of the second game.

The event honors the late Lauren Hill, a Mount St. Joseph student who played for the Lions despite battling an inoperable brain tumor. Hill hit the court for her first collegiate game on Nov. 2, 2014 against Hiram College in front of a capacity crowd at Cintas Center on national television. Hill's story gained national attention as she set out to raise awareness for The Cure Starts Now Foundation. To date $2.3 million dollars has been raised in Lauren's honor to help find a homerun cure.
