From the WBCA:

Over 1,350 Women’s Basketball Teams and Supporting Organizations
will Raise Breast Cancer Awareness February 12-21

What
Over 1,350 women’s basketball teams and supporting organizations across the nation are already committed to participate in the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association’s (WBCA) initiative entitled the WBCA Pink Zone®.

The WBCA Pink Zone initiative is a global, unified effort for the WBCA’s nation of coaches to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond. The WBCA's charity of choice is the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund®, in partnership with The V Foundation. The WBCA strongly encourages any donations collected from WBCA Pink Zone games to be given to the Fund.

Who
Between February 12-21, with a few games outside of that window, women’s basketball teams and supporters across the nation will dedicate one game to raise breast cancer awareness and funding. Teams, fans and arenas will be decked out in pink, survivors will be honored at games, referees will blow pink whistles, donations will be collected, and much more!
