Auburn's "Think Pink" Sunday brings the story of Marianne Merritt (Melton), the first woman to receive a basketball scholarship at the University.

Almost three decades later, including lots of NCAA Tournament appearances and an array of All-Americans, and her accomplishments have not been diminished. She still sits atop the Auburn record book in scoring and rebounding averages, has been honored as one of the SEC's greats and finds her name in the walk of honor through the streets of Auburn.

She is also a survivor.

By the way, the "Think Pink" initiative has now raised $210,000. You can donate here.
