Terriers GO PINK!
Breast Cancer Awareness Initiative
The Wofford Athletic Department is hosting a year long initiative to raise awarenesss in the fight against breast cancer.
The Terriers women's tennis team will kick off the spring GO PINK events on Saturday, February 14, as they host Coastal Carolina at 1:00pm at the Reeves Tennis Center.
The second spring GO PINK event will be Monday, February 23 for a basketball doubleheader! Special GO PINK t-shirts will be on-sale for $10 and all the proceeds will go to the Susan G. Komen For the Cure Foundation. At halftime a presentation will be made to announce the total amount donated as part of the year-long campaign. Every Southern Conference school will host a "pink" game this season.
"GO PINK" began this fall with a special "pink weekend" on campus October 17-19. The Wofford women's and men's soccer and volleyball teams all hosted a special game to raise awareness and funds. The men's soccer program wore special "pink" highlighted jerseys donated by Nike on Oct. 18 for a match against Furman. The following day, a portion of the admission to the volleyball match was donated to the cause as well.
Although, the GO PINK campaign will officially end February 23, the Terrier baseball team plans a special "pink" event for their season finale on Mother's Day (May 10) as well.
Tie Up a Cure
The Wofford Student Athlete Advisory Committe (SAAC) along with Southern Conference will be participating in the "Tie Up a Cure" Challenge. All of the Southern Conference members will be competing to raise money for breast cancer awareness by selling pink shoelaces. All proceedes will be donated to The Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund, the newest women's initiative for The V Foundation, which will raise money for the fight against women's cancers.
You can purchase these sholaces at all men's and women's home basketball games in the month of February!
