Trailblazer Basketball To Host Annual Play 4 Kay Games Wednesday
VINCENNES, Ind. – The Vincennes University Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams will be hosting their annual Play 4 Kay night at the P.E. Complex, Wednesday, Feb. 2 when VU hosts Region 24 opponent Southwestern Illinois College.
All ticket sales for Wednesday’s games will be donated to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, with a total donation goal of $1,000.
Vincennes University Athletics will also be taking donations all throughout the month of February to be donated to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
Yow passed away from stage 4 breast cancer in early 2009. She coached the North Carolina State women’s basketball program from 1975 until shortly before her death. During her more than three decades on the sidelines for the Wolfpack, Yow earned induction into the Naismith Hall of Fame with more than 650 of her 700-plus career wins.
The nationwide Play 4 Kay program is an opportunity for coaches to raise breast cancer awareness and research funds on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond. Since its inception in 2007, the Play 4 Kay initiative has generated more than $7.7 million for the cause
VU Athletics began partnering with the Kay Yow Cancer Fund in 2013 and has since donated over $20,000.
Fans are encouraged to wear pink Wednesday night to help so your support cancer awareness and the continued battle for cancer research.
