Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Tuesday, June 10, 2008

From Beth Bass, over at the WBCA:

During Convention, the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund, in partnership with The V Foundation, introduced the “Events-in-a-Box” campaign. This campaign encourages all WBCA members, sponsors, institutions, communities and fans to implement one event a year to raise monies for the Fund.

The Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund challenges you to run an event on your campus to raise money for female cancer research. The Events-in-a-Box campaign is available on a CD. This CD includes four event ideas that you can run locally. The information on the CD will give guidelines, a timeline, forms, design samples, radio spots, and most of the necessary framework you will need to run one of the four events. The four events include: 4Kay Run/Walk; 4Kay Menu, which is a food and beverage event; Kids 4Kay, which suggests numerous ways to engage kids in your community; and the WBCA Pink Zone™.

Many of you have already chosen to donate proceeds from your Pink Zone game (formerly “Think Pink”) and for that we are very grateful. We look forward to next year’s Pink Zone games during the week of February 13-22, 2009.

You are not limited to these four events, if you would like to do something else that would better fit the interest of your local community. No matter what you do, the important thing is that we are creating awareness, educating and raising funds for the fight against cancer.

If you have not already received your CD and you are willing to make a commitment 4Kay, please email us at kayyowfund@wbca.org and we will send you an Events-in-a-Box CD. Thank you in advance for making a difference!
